Susane Colasanti is a bestselling author, known for her realistic and romantic contemporary teen and young adult novels. She was born on May 1, 1973, in New Jersey, and spent her childhood in a rural area called Peapack-Gladstone. As a teenager, Colasanti felt a strong connection to New York City, which led her to move there in 1996 to attend graduate school at the University of New York.\n \nColasanti received her bachelor's degree in Astrophysics & Space Science, with a minor in psychology, from the Pennsylvania University. She then went on to earn her master's degree in Science Education from the New York University. After graduation, she began teaching physics, meteorology, and earth science to high school students in South Bronx and Manhattan. Colasanti's unconventional teaching methods, which often deviated from traditional approaches, were met with great success from both the students and herself.
