Monica’s lifelong love affair with words began at the tender age of 4. As a kid, she was that rare bookworm who found joy in reading the dictionary, even taking her books to recess. In the third grade, she accused her teacher of plagiarism when tasked with copying definitions from the dictionary, a testament to her unwavering belief in the power of language. Monica’s linguistic passion led her to choose Advanced Grammar as an elective, and she aced the AP English exam in high school.

During the pandemic, Monica rediscovered her love for romance literature. She was drawn to romance for its ability to offer happiness to characters of diverse backgrounds, including queer individuals and those, like herself, dealing with depression. While she adores all things romance, Monica has a special place in her heart for over-the-top romantic comedies (a la Pippa Grant), paranormal romance, and happily-ever-afters featuring neurodiverse characters.
