Her writing style: She will try to make you cry. Most of the time, she will succeed.
R. A. Desilets was raised in a small New Hampshire town but left it behind to attend Emerson College in Boston. After graduating with a degree in Writing, Literature, and Publishing, she moved to southern California.
Working as a barista, she somehow turned her life into a cliché and met her partner while serving him coffee. They fell in love, got married, adopted a bunch of cats, and moved to the rainy side of Oregon.
When she's not writing, she plays video games, drinks tea, reads way too much (though, she wonders if there is such a thing as too much reading), and snowboards.

A Contemporary YA novel about growing up and saying goodbye, perfect for fans of They Both Die at the End and All the Bright Places.
The Mundane List was my bucket list. I never dreamed it would be the thread that brought my friends back together. It was a wish list from a dying girl, things to do with my dad before I passed.
But when my best friend Harper finds it after our senior year, she wants a do-over with on again off again Zain. It’s our last summer to say goodbye. We’ve graduated, and there’s nothing left to lose.
From holding our breaths to shooting off fireworks to climbing a mountain, we complete the items. Maybe before the end, I will tell Owen how I really feel, but since he’s flirting with another girl and pretending I don’t exist, it might already be too late.
