Brina Starler writes, and reads, romance novels and romantic fiction— anything with kissing will do. She lives in North Carolina with her husband and a mix of both human and fur pups, and has finally resigned herself to a future of asking tall people to get stuff off the top shelf. Her debut romcom novel, Anne of Manhattan, a modern day, grown-up retelling of L. M. Montgomery’s Anne of Green Gables, is out now.
