Author of Fangirl
Rainbow Rowell writes books. Sometimes she writes about adults (Attachments and Landline), and sometimes she writes about teenagers (Eleanor & Park and Fangirl), but she always writes about people who speak a lot. And people who feel like they're screwing up. And people who fall in love. Rainbow is reading comic books when she isn't writing, planning trips to Disney World and arguing about things that don't really matter in the big scheme of thin... gs. She lives in Nebraska with her husband and two sons.READ MORE

I had this whole plan when I graduated high school: I was going to go to college, date a few guys, and then meet THE guy at the end of my freshman year, maybe at the beginning of my sophomore year. We'd be engaged by graduation and married the next year. And then, after some traveling, we'd start our family. Four kids, three years apart. I wanted to be done by the time I was 35.
There's never been a moment," he barely said, "when I didn't recognize you."
She wiped her eyes. Her mascara smeared. He nudged the merry-to-round into motion. He could kiss her now. If he wanted.
"I'd know you in the dark," he said. "From a thousand miles away. There's nothing you could become that I haven't already fallen in love with."
He could kiss her.
"I know you," he said.
