Julie Buxbaum began publishing with adult literary fiction before finding a wider audience in young adult books. Her adult novels The Opposite of Love (2008) and After You (2009) dealt with grief and relationships, while Tell Me Three Things (2016) marked her move to YA with a story about a girl who receives anonymous emails from a classmate at her new school.
What to Say Next (2017) follows two unlikely friends, one on the autism spectrum, as they investigate a car accident that killed one of their fathers. Hope and Other Punch Lines (2019) revisits the aftermath of 9/11 through a teenage girl’s eyes. Buxbaum has continued to publish across age categories, with The Area 51 Files (2022) aimed at a middle-grade audience. Her books often center on characters processing loss while forming new connections.
