Author Interview: Kristen Granata
from Our Nerdiest Thing · host Our Nerdiest Thing
Hello, fellow nerds! We sat down with Kristen Granata this week, author of the Heart Trick, The Collision series, Hating the Boss, Back to You, and more! Kristen Granata is a teacher by day, and a bestselling author by night. Known for writing emotional contemporary and new adult romance, she loves creating realistic characters who struggle through the darkest parts of life and come out stronger on the other side. Kristen is a self-proclaimed “bitter cynic trapped in a hopeless romantic’s body.” Her inspirational stories make you laugh, make you think, make you ugly cry – and they will always live happily ever after. Kristen openly shares her mental health struggles with depression and anxiety with her readers. Her message is a beacon of hope to anyone who is suffering: You are not alone. She delicately weaves this theme into her writing, and her stories demonstrate the ability of love to heal after tragedy. Kristen was born & raised in New York. She now resides in New Jersey with her wife & two step-daughters. When she's not teaching or writing, Kristen is reading, tripping over something, indulging in her messy love affair with popcorn, and forever singing along to The Greatest Showman soundtrack. Listen in as we chat more about Kristen’s work, what she's currently reading, and her commitment to write mental health representation.
