Michelene Esposito writes contemporary adult and YA fiction that explores real life in all its complexity with a generous helping of humor. Praised by Library Journal for writing with "intelligence and subtlety," her stories capture the authentic, dramatic, and often laugh-out-loud funny dynamics of family, relationships, and human connection. Her debut novel, Night Diving, was recognized with the ForeWord Magazine Silver Award.
An Italian-American New York kid living in the San Francisco Bay Area, Michelene is an unapologetic "glass-half-full" gal who loves sharp banter, romantic slow burns, long rambling walks, coffee (the elixir of life!), and stories that deeply celebrate friendships and family.
