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.

We Got the Beat (2024)
Jenna Miller
"Charmingly wry and sharply perceptive, with characters who aren't afraid to fumble - but who care enough to mend fences. We Got the Beat is an ode to first love, complicated friendships, and the messy joy of rewriting your own story."

This Day Changes Everything (2024)
Edward Underhill
"Tender, earnest, and unabashedly romantic-an ode to serendipity, liminal spaces, and the joy of marching to your own drumbeat."
thumb
Skater Boy (2024)
Anthony Nerada
"He was a punk (with a secret soft center). Skater Boy is a perceptive, vividly emotional, complicated love story, told with candor and compassion. Can I make it any more obvious that you should drop everything and read it?"
