I made a commitment to uplifting voices this year, and one way that I can do that is by highlighting authors from marginalized communities and promoting diverse reads. I’ve created this series to feature different authors and my favorite books from their catalogues.

This time I am featuring Sandhya Menon.

About Sandhya:

Sandhya Menon is the New York Times bestselling author of several novels with lots of kissing, girl power, and swoony boys. Her books have been featured in many cool places, including on The Today Show, Cosmopolitan, Teen Vogue, NPR, Seventeen, Entertainment Weekly, and Buzzfeed. Three of her books have won the Colorado Book Award, and her Dimpleverse series was turned into a hit TV show with Netflix India. A full-time dog servant, Sandhya makes her home in the foggy mountains of Colorado. Her next novel will be out in 2026.
