Meredith Adamo is a YA author with a master's degree in Youth Librarianship. She's based in hot, humid North Carolina, but she's originally from Rochester, New York. That's her favorite place on the planet and she can tell you all about Rochester's speciality dish, a Garbage Plate. Don't ask... Meredith likes to write about girls who can make you laugh and break your heart - ideally on the same page. Her non-writing interests include collecting vintage bakeware, crocheting the ugliest blankets you've ever seen and grocery shopping. Not Like Other Girls is her debut novel.
