Although she’s written about a reality dating show, a prescient pastry chef, and a woman who inspired an 80’s rock hit, Jennifer has not spent hours dissecting The Bachelor, she can barely follow the directions on the back of a Betty Crocker box, and she can only dream of a long-haired, guitar-thrashing rocker even giving her a second glance. While she cringes at the thought of being called Jenny again after all these years, her teen books, PLAN B, THE BOOK OF LUKE, and her upcoming Martha's Vineyard series are published under Jenny O’Connell by MTV Books.

Her days as a high school senior may be long behind her, but Jennifer did receive her B.A. from Smith College and her M.B.A. from the University of Chicago. A market strategy consultant, she lives outside Boston.
