Sophie Ranald is the youngest of five sisters. Born in Zimbabwe, she lived in South Africa until an acute case of itchy feet brought her to London in her mid-20s.

Sophie's first novel, It Would Be Wrong to Steal My Sister's Boyfriend (Wouldn't it?), was published in 2013. Since then, she has written over a dozen more romantic comedies, including the runaway bestseller Sorry Not Sorry. Sophie's books have sold almost a million copies, regularly top the charts on Kindle and Apple Books, have been translated into five languages and have been featured on Late Night with Seth Meyers.

When she's not hammering at her keyboard on a deadline, Sophie can be found trying to lift heavy things in the gym, running or attempting to mix the perfect dry martini. She lives in South East London with her amazing partner and their two adorable cats.
