Ashley Lynn East writes witty, heartfelt, and slightly unhinged stories about complicated women, messy love, and the entertaining disasters that come with both. When she’s not plotting fictional drama, she’s chasing her adorable son and ever-enthusiastic miniature schnauzer, or daydreaming about her next book. The Nemesis Pact is her debut novel—and she hopes it makes you laugh, swoon, and maybe scream into a pillow. In a good way. Follow her on Instagram and TikTok @ashleylynneastwrites for bookish updates and behind-the-scenes fun.
