Meredith Adamo (she/her) is an author based in North Carolina, but she's originally from Rochester, New York, which is her favorite place on the planet. She likes to write books about girls who make you laugh and break your heart—ideally on the same page. Her non-writing interests include collecting vintage bakeware, crocheting the ugliest blankets you've ever seen, and grocery shopping. 

​

Her debut Not Like Other Girls was the recipient of the 2025 William C. Morris YA Debut Award, and it was named as a Chicago Public Library Best of the Best, a BookPage Best Young Adult Book of 2024, a Southern Book Prize Young Readers Finalist, a May/June Kids' Indie Next List pick, and the May 2024 Target YA Book Club pick.
