Simone Elkeles (author of How to Ruin Trilogy, Leaving Paradise/ Return to Paradise, Perfect Chemistry Trilogy) is a New York Times Bestselling young adult author.
Simone starting writing in 2000, but she did not sign right away. After she completed “How to Ruin a Summer Vacation”, Elkeles began sending her book to agents.
