IMAN HARIRI-KIA is the sex and relationships editor at Bustle. She also writes a monthly column for Man Repeller and is a digital contributor to Teen Vogue. She has worked as a sex and dating advisor for Elite Daily and a lifestyle writer for Bustle and has promoted her work on the Today Show, CBS, NY1 News, DailyMail TV and other media. And while this novel is entirely fictitious, she did begin her career as assistant to the editor-in-chief of Teen Vogue. She’s passionate about advocacy, elevating the narratives of Middle Eastern women, and writing about her personal life on the internet (much to her parents’ dismay).
