Lizzie Franklin is a Young Adult Contemporary Romance author who lives for making angsty characters fall in love. What romance is complete without some struggle? Add humor and family drama to the mix, and you have her favorite recipe for a novel. She has written fifteen books and has finally published her debut, BEFORE WE’RE MORE THAN FRIENDS. When she’s not writing—which is pretty rare—she’s suffering through her English major, going on trips, or playing with her cats.
