Cecilia Vinesse is the author of the young adult novels Seven Days of You and The Summer of Us. She was born in France but grew up between Tokyo, Japan, and Greenville, South Carolina. Her obsession with Nora Ephron movies led her to New York City, where she worked in children’s book publishing and lived in an apartment furnished mostly by stacks of novels. Now she’s in a small Edwardian house in England, where she spends most of her non-writing time devouring rom-coms and podcasts, baking as many cookies as possible, and holding horror movie marathons with her girlfriend and dog.

"A romcom lover's dream, filled with heart, laughter, characters to cheer for, and one very swoony romance. I've got the biggest book crush on The Girl Next Door. " — Elizabeth Eulberg, international bestselling author of Better Off Friends"A delightful ode to romance and horror's best tropes, especially the fake-dating revenge scheme. Vinesse writes her characters with compassion and complexity; Cleo and Marianne positively leap off the page." — Kelly Quindlen, bestselling author of She Drives Me Crazy"A warm, charming tale of a horror-loving film buff who’s stuck in a romantic comedy." — Kirkus Reviews"This fast-paced story is highly character driven and [a] ­solid choice for fans of Alice Oseman’s Heartstopper and Jenny Han’s To All The Boys I’ve Loved ­Before." — School Library Journal
