Kailey Bright is a fantasy YA fiction author and computer scientist, which means she writes code during daylight and writes about fantastical worlds under starlight.

Tired of YA stories where protagonists suddenly get secret, plot-helpful powers, Bright seeks to write powerful and ambitious stories about characters who persevere with and through disadvantages. Her books are meant to positively impact readers who struggle with challenging societal norms and cultivating inner growth.

When she’s not tanning under her computer screen’s glow, Kailey enjoys winning at mediocre bowling and drinking coffee at every opportunity.

Once I understood that Little Women was a slice of life anime, I was fully immersed and gladly a fly on the wall to the happenings of the March home. Alcott is so much more clever than I think we give her credit, and I am happy to have finally read t ...more

Listening to the audiobook was a surreal experience; the way The Favorites captured an intense love story within a distinct athletic field wrapped in a viscerally accurate documentary-style is a triumph. Layne Fargo, take a bow.
Unity by Kailey Bright
"I wasn’t expecting the level of heartbreak I found in this final book. It was a beautifully written story from beginning to end, and I’m always happy when an ending of a series feels satisfying. "

“I could kill you right now.”
“What would that change?” he asked. “Both of us dead?”
Kailey Bright, Unity

“It’s funny, isn’t it?” she asked, stepping forward and pushing him back. Her voice rang loud and clear for the chained Gifteds around her. “Once you turn us into Unfortunates, you no longer have any power over us.”
Kailey Bright, Unity

“They spent so much time hating each other for their status. Arrogant heiress and arrogant street rat as Leo once emphasized. But they shared arrogance, knowing each other fully without fully knowing each other, and spent their time despising one another together, drawn to interact with pestering, name-calling, teasing.”
Kailey Bright, Unity

“If I loved you less, I might be able to talk about it more.”
Jane Austen, Emma

“Open your eyes and see what you can with them before they close forever.”
Anthony Doerr, All the Light We Cannot See

“I'm in love with you," he said quietly.

"Augustus," I said.

"I am," he said. He was staring at me, and I could see the corners of his eyes crinkling. "I'm in love with you, and I'm not in the business of denying myself the simple pleasure of saying true things. I'm in love with you, and I know that love is just a shout into the void, and that oblivion is inevitable, and that we're all doomed and that there will come a day when all our labor has been returned to dust, and I know the sun will swallow the only earth we'll ever have, and I am in love with you.”
John Green, The Fault in Our Stars

“I have a strange feeling with regard to you. As if I had a string somewhere under my left ribs, tightly knotted to a similar string in you. And if you were to leave I'm afraid that cord of communion would snap. And I have a notion that I'd take to bleeding inwardly. As for you, you'd forget me.”
Charlotte Brontë, Jane Eyre

“You do not know how fast you have been running, how hard you have been working, how truly exhausted you are, until somewhat stands behind you and says, “It’s OK, you can fall down now. I’ll catch you.”
Taylor Jenkins Reid, The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo
