Jennifer Preston is the author of the Beautiful Mess series. She was born in California, grew up in Utah, and now lives outside of Denver, Colorado with her husband and three rambunctious kiddos. She is an obsessive reader who never goes anywhere without her trusty e-reader (best invention ever!). In those rare moments when she’s not being a mom, reading, or writing, she enjoys running, shopping, sleeping in, and singing along (loudly and badly) with the radio as she drives.
