Natasha Ngan is part young-adult author, part yoga teacher, part habitual nap-taker. She grew up between Malaysia and the UK, speaking Chinese with her mother mainly as a way to talk about people without them understanding. She studied Geography at the University of Cambridge and later worked as a fashion blogger, social media consultant and freelance writer. Natasha recently moved to Paris, where she likes to imagine she drifts stylishly from brasserie to brasserie, notepad in one hand and wineglass in the other, but in reality she mostly spends her time lost on the metro and offending locals with her French. Her novel Girls of Paper and Fire was a New York Times bestseller.
*"Ngan's plot is tense and tight, her action sequences are elegant
and adrenaline-soaked, and her story's stakes increase
exponentially through the pulse-pounding conclusion. What most
distinguishes this book, though, is how incisively and
intoxicatingly Ngan writes about love."
--Publisher's Weekly, *starred review*
