Liz Reinhardt, een trotse New Jersey-inwoner die naar het diepe zuiden van Amerika verhuisde, is een toegewijde boekenliefhebber met een onwrikbare voorliefde voor jeugdliteratuur (YA). Haar schrijfstijl duikt in de complexiteit van de adolescentie, waarbij thema's als heimwee, ontluikende romantiek en oprechte humor met elkaar verweven worden. Als opvoeder brengt Reinhardt een diep begrip van haar publiek mee, waarbij ze verhalen creëert die resoneren met authentieke tienerervaringen en emoties. Haar verhalen worden gekenmerkt door een levendige stem, herkenbare personages en een aangrijpende verkenning van het volwassen worden.
