About the author

Sarah Swartz was born and raised in the town of Endwell, New York and has recently moved to Woodruff, South Carolina in 2022. She started writing on Wattpad at the age of sixteen after she saw a YouTube user mention the site. She decided to make an account and show support to this user. Shortly after making her account, Sarah decided to try her hand at writing. Her first book was called A Summer to Remember which was first published on Wattpad in 2012 but wasn't completed until 2015. She went on to write more than twenty Wattpad stories- only eight of them being full-length novels that she tolerates- since she joined and she is still an active user on the site. She continues to show support to the writer who introduced her to Wattpad in the first place. Wattpad is where she made the final decision that she wanted to have a career as a writer. Her use of storytelling and character caught the attention of several readers. To this day, she focuses much of her time and attention on completing edits and getting them ready for publication. When she's not writing, she can be caught most likely reading a good book or trying to find inspiration for a new novel.

[Jessica Madden · Rating 5 out of 5]

I loved every moment of this book as I did with the Wattpad verison. I especially loved how Cody was added into this book. I'm so proud of where this story has become, and I hope big things will happen with it.
