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.
