Gabby
Mendes

writer of stories that warm the soul

Welcome to my world. ✨

Here, stories are born between the smell of coffee, autumn-colored evenings, and feelings that overflow before they even become words. I write romances about imperfect people, genuine emotions, and connections that leave a mark. Stories that comfort you, hurt a little, and stay with you long after the last page. So grab a coffee, put on your favorite playlist, and make yourself at home.

About me

A writer
in love with stories

Hi! I’m Gabriella, but you can call me Gabi or Gabby. 🍁

I’m from Recife and completely obsessed with romance stories — the kind of person who watches the same movie a hundred times just to relive that feeling all over again. I’ve always been driven by emotions, music, unforgettable scenes, and characters that leave a piece of themselves with us.

The truth is, storytelling has always been a part of who I am, even before I fully realized it. Between highlighted books, late-night ideas scribbled down in my notes app, and an imagination that never slows down, I found my dream of writing my own stories. Stories that comfort, move people, and make someone feel understood in at least one chapter.

Beyond writing, I love everything about the creative world: movies, aesthetics, soundtracks, photography, and all those little details that turn feelings into memories.

This space is a little piece of my world. A place where I share my projects, inspirations, and every step of my journey as an author. And honestly? Having you here following along makes this dream feel even more special. 📖✨

The book

Vanilla Chai and Pumpkin Spice

Vanilla Chai and Pumpkin Spice was born out of my love for stories that warm the heart, but that also carry real, intense, and messy feelings. 🍂☕

In this story, you’ll meet James Evans, a guy constantly caught between school, work at the coffee shop, and the endless chaos in his own head. And, of course, there’s Gabriel Cruz — the cocky, mysterious soccer player who’s just annoyingly impossible to ignore.

After seven years of bickering and pent-up hate, James finds himself forced to tutor Gabriel. What was supposed to be a simple trade-off for academic glory starts to completely shift how he sees the guy behind the sarcasm, the cocky grins, and those blue eyes that always seem to know more than they should.

More than just a romance, this is a story about vulnerability, emotional walls, self-discovery, and how some people manage to find a place in our lives, even when we try our hardest to keep them out.
