SUSAN LEE has had a lifetime of careers from bartender, to network engineer, to HR Executive at some of today’s most successful companies. But one thing has always been clear throughout, she was born to be a storyteller. And she has channeled her myriad of experiences into her writing of light-hearted, quirky novels about the oftentimes hilarious human condition. And love. Always write about love. She currently lives in Southern California (fighting her inner New Yorker from breaking free too often) with a pack of three feisty chihuahuas and a too-hearty obsession with K-pop and K-dramas.

Christina Lauren is the combined pen name of longtime writing partners and best friends Christina Hobbs and Lauren Billings, the NEW YORK TIMES, USA TODAY, and #1 internationally bestselling authors of the Beautiful and Wild Seasons series, DATING YOU / HATING YOU, AUTOBOYOGRAPHY, LOVE AND OTHER WORDS, ROOMIES, JOSH AND HAZEL’S GUIDE TO NOT DATING, MY FAVORITE HALF-NIGHT STAND, THE UNHONEYMOONERS, TWICE IN A BLUE MOON, and THE SOULMATE EQUATION.
