Forest began writing young adult fiction; her book The Neighbor Favor began her first adult romance series. The second book in the series, The Partner Plot, was published in February 2024. In a starred review, Kirkus Reviews stated, "Forest's novel is a sweet portrayal of first love and second chances. Violet and Xavier are memorable, real, and vulnerable as they struggle with career sacrifices and the fear of more heartbreak. Yet they were destined from the start—and Forest's romance never misses a shot."
