ABOUT US

Annabel Paulsen and Lydia Wang lived their own friends-to-lovers romance while co-writing their debut novel, Here for the Wrong Reasons. Their second novel, Encore, is coming in Spring of 2027. They are always either reading a rom-com, watching a reality dating show, or taking a little trip upstate. They hope to one day share a brownstone and a pug named Elise.
