USA flag (b.1982)

Becky Albertalli is a clinical psychologist who has had the privilege of conducting therapy with dozens of smart, weird, irresistible teenagers. She also served for seven years as co-leader of a support group for gender nonconforming children in Washington, DC.

Albertalli attended college in Connecticut and majored in psychology before moving to Washington, D.C. and gaining a doctorate in clinical psychology. She worked as a psychologist until 2012—when her first son was born—and subsequently decided to try writing a novel.

She now lives with her family in Atlanta.

The Last Boyfriends Rules for Revenge (2024)
Matthew Hubbard
"Brave, bighearted, and searingly relevant with an ending that gave me chills - a glitter-dusted revolution of a book."

Dear Wendy (2024)
Ann Zhao
"Charming, vivid, and sweetly subversive-Dear Wendy is an ode to community, kinship, and unraveling others' assumptions. An evergreen reminder that the best love stories aren't always romantic."
