Emily Wibberley co-writes with her husband, Austin Siegemund-Broka. Their novels fall into two clean lanes, Young Adult and Adult romance, and almost everything is standalone (no required series order). The only real “order” question is whether you want to follow their career by release date, or jump straight to the lane and premise that fits your mood.
Below, everything is grouped by lane, then listed in publication order within that lane, with a one-line, spoiler-safe orientation for each book.

How to choose your first book in 15 seconds
Pick Young Adult if you want: high school/teen stakes, first love, friend groups, and fast pacing.
Pick Adult romance if you want: co-workers/exes/marriage-in-trouble setups with deeper “adult life” pressures.
If you still can’t decide:
- Start YA with Always Never Yours (2018) for a classic romcom feel.
- Start Adult with The Roughest Draft (2022) for their most “two people with history and unfinished work” energy.
Adult romance novels (standalones)
The Roughest Draft (2022): Former co-writing partners reunite under deadline pressure, where creative tension and unresolved history keep turning professional contact into personal exposure.
Do I Know You? (2023): A long-term couple tries a “pretend we’re strangers” spark, and the game forces them to admit what routine has been hiding.
The Breakup Tour (2024): A celebrity breakup becomes a forced-return-to-the-past trip, where public narrative and private heartbreak keep colliding in real time.
Book Boyfriend (2025): A romance-reader fantasy meets messy reality, built around expectations, performative “perfect boyfriend” moments, and what actually holds up off the page.
Seeing Other People (2025): A relationship hits a destabilizing new phase, and the story leans into uncertainty and attraction as the characters try to define what commitment means now.
Young Adult novels (standalones)
Always Never Yours (2018): A teen romantic comedy about rewriting your “role” in your own story, where the heroine has to stop living as someone else’s supporting character.
If I’m Being Honest (2019): A reputation-reset romance where the heroine’s blunt honesty becomes both her best weapon and the thing that forces real vulnerability.
Time of Our Lives (2020): A day-with-a-deadline setup that traps big decisions in a short window, pushing two teens to choose what they want before the moment passes.
What’s Not to Love (2021): A rivals-to-something-more story where competitive energy turns into a slow realization that feelings don’t follow the rules you set.
With and Without You (2022): A “we were together, then we weren’t” romance that explores identity and attachment through the ache of trying to move forward without clean answers.
Never Vacation with Your Ex (2023): A forced-proximity holiday romance where an already-complicated history gets worse (and then clearer) when there’s no escape route.
Connected projects and separate continuity
Anthology contribution (not a full standalone novel by them)
That Way Madness Lies (2021): A YA Shakespeare-retelling anthology; Emily Wibberley and Austin Siegemund-Broka contribute one story, so it’s best treated as a sampler rather than “their next novel.”
Separate pen name: E. B. Asher (collaboration; separate shelf)
E. B. Asher is a different author name used for a collaborative series with an additional co-author. Treat it as a separate continuity from the books above.
This Will Be Fun (2024): A fantasy-leaning, ensemble adventure-romance that plays like a “reunion with baggage,” where old dynamics resurface under higher-stakes circumstances.
This Will Be Interesting (2026): The follow-up in the same world, designed to land best after the first book because it builds on established relationships and the series’ tone.
A simple “read across the lanes” path (if you want variety)
If you like alternating YA and Adult without overthinking it:
- Always Never Yours (2018)
- The Roughest Draft (2022)
- What’s Not to Love (2021)
- Do I Know You? (2023)
- Never Vacation with Your Ex (2023)
- The Breakup Tour (2024)
- Book Boyfriend (2025)
- Seeing Other People (2025)
(You can insert the anthology contribution or the E. B. Asher books anywhere, because they’re separate shelves.)
FAQs
Do Emily Wibberley’s books need to be read in order?
No, her YA and adult romances are written as standalones. Read by premise and tone.
Why do I sometimes see different dates for the same title?
Different markets and formats (hardcover vs. paperback, US vs. UK) can show different on-sale dates. The “first publication” year is the safest reference point.
Is E. B. Asher the same thing as “Emily Wibberley books”?
It’s connected by authorship, but it’s best treated as a separate shelf: different author name, different branding, and a collaborative continuity.
