About the author

Sarah Carpenter was born in rural Michigan, and has been obsessed with books since third grade, when she would hide under her covers at night, reading by flashlight hours after her bedtime. She has been writing crazy stories for years, but only now has she stopped being a chicken and started sharing her tales. She enjoys spending time with her family, singing in the shower, and dancing like a fool. Sarah hopes you enjoy her first Young Adult, romantic, supernatural, action-packed, light-hearted, dystopian, violent, uplifting story about a love that changes everything. *Seriously, how do other authors manage to categorize their stories as one thing? #Jealousy
