Alicia Thompson

Alicia Thompson is an American author of contemporary romantic comedy whose novels centre on socially awkward heroines and lightly satirical realism. Love in the Time of Serial Killers — her acclaimed debut about a romance-wary grad student, a hot neighbour and a true-crime fixation — became a beloved cult bestseller.

Thompson writes for fans of the rom-com who like their humour a little dark and their psychology honest. Her follow-up novels continue to explore smart women navigating friendship, family and love, and she has been repeatedly recommended among the funniest new voices in popular romance.
