You will create the book cover for my original book, The Way We Were. Heres a basic synopsis: Ally and Zane were once everything to each other, best friends, inseparable. But something changed. As they grew older they drifted apart, leaving behind only memories of what they used to be. Now, they’re forced back into each other’s lives through basketball, confronting the past and the unresolved feelings that may still linger. As they navigate old wounds and new realities, they must decide: Can they find their way back to each other, or are they better off as nothing more than a memory?

Art idea: 

The cover should feature Ally and Zane. Zane is wearing a basketball uniform with his brown hair slightly tousled. He’s holding a basketball in front of their faces, which hides their mouths but implies they’re kissing. Ally has blonde hair, styled in soft waves, and she’s wearing a cute, aesthetic teen girl outfit, like a cropped long-sleeve top and leggings or a sweater. They are close together, and the mood should feel sweet and intimate. The background should be simple and muted, with soft pastel colors like pink or blue, allowing the focus to stay on their connection. The overall vibe should hint at a romantic moment without showing it explicitly. The art should be very BookTok inspired.
