She lives in Salt Lake City, Utah, with her husband and two young children.
The Fast Track (2026) Angelica Cheng "Layered, feminist, and empowering. It made my heart race! I loved our fiery Justine and all of her ambition, and the love story had me swooning. Definitely pick this one up."
Love, Off the Record (2024) Samantha Markum "Love, Off the Record is the perfect example of why we love enemies-to-lovers romance. The chemistry was absolutely delicious, and I adored spending time in Wyn's world."
The Name Drop (2023) Susan Lee "The Name Drop is the perfect reminder of why contemporary YA has my heart. I loved the depth, drama and sweetness, and couldn't get enough of the gorgeous New York City backdrop."
French Kissing in New York (2023) Anne-Sophie Jouhanneau "It took all of two paragraphs for me to fall head-over-heels in love with this story. Naive, plucky Margot was perfection, New York City brimmed loud and clear from the pages, and I absolutely adored the love story. I'll be thinking about this one for a while."
Some Mistakes Were Made (2022) Kristin Dwyer "A novel you can make yourself at home in, with characters so real it feels like you've known them for ages. I loved the family dynamic, the slow burn, all of those gorgeous lines so clear and startling they lift off the page, and the way it made my heart slowly (but surely) shatter. This one will stick with you."
If You Change Your Mind (2022) Robby Weber "Robby Weber's If You Change Your Mind is everything we love about a summer read. Sundrenched, swoony, and dripping with chemistry and charm."
Love from Scratch (2022) Kaitlyn Hill "Sweet and satisfying. I loved the witty banter, the chemistry, and the way the characters felt like they could walk off the page."
Message Not Found (2022) Dante Medema "Message Not Found is a compelling look at the complexity of relationships, secrets, grief, and growing up. The characters and friendships walk straight off the page, while the mystery drives you forward. Prepare to exert extreme self-control in order to not race to the end!"
Between You, Me, and the Honeybees (2021) Amelia Diane Coombs "A sunny, engaging exploration of all different types of relationships and what it looks like to chart your own course. I loved the depth, the honey-sweet romance, and most of all, Ezra."
