Agata Przybyłek

Absolwentka psychologii na Uniwersytecie Gdańskim, w przeszłości dziennikarka portalu rodzicielskiego. Debiutowała w 2015 roku, gdy tworzenie fabuły pełnej miłosnych perypetii i zaskakujących żartów potraktowała jako autoterapię. Od tamtej pory ukazało się ponad dwadzieścia książek jej autorstwa, a kolejne humorystyczne serie podbiły serca (i półki!) polskich czytelniczek.

Pisze głównie powieści obyczajowe oraz komedie romantyczne. Z tymi pierwszymi trafia szczególnie do tych czytelniczek, które – podobnie jak sama autorka – uwielbiają prozę Nicholasa Sparksa. Z jednej strony Agata Przybyłek uwielbia bawić i sprawiać, by jej książki pomagały oderwać się od problemów dnia codziennego, a z drugiej chętnie porusza tematy społeczne i przemyca do
