edit data

Alex Light grew up reading too many books and listening to too many Taylor Swift songs. Now, she writes books that make people laugh (and sometimes cry).

Alex began writing as a teen. She shared dozens of love stories online, which have now been read over 150 million times. Shockingly, she graduated with a BA in English Literature, giving her the perfect excuse to read even more books when she wasn’t busy writing her own.

Living in Toronto, Canada with her 3 furry friends, Alex is an avid donut-eater, sometimes baker, and lover of the frozen winter months.

my third book is coming november 5th! it's a YA rom-com with enemies to lovers, an annoying amount of banter, an anonymous break-up blog, and much, much more! it's my favourite thing i've ever written, and i cannot wait for you to read it!
