Laurie Devore writes young adult and contemporary fiction with a focus on ambitious, flawed female characters. Her debut, How to Break a Boy (2017), is set in a small Southern town and follows a girl whose reputation precedes her. Winner Take All (2018) continues the Southern YA approach with a story about competitive pressure and romantic entanglements.

Her later books have broadened her range. A Better Bad Idea (2021) leans into new adult romance, while The Villain Edit (2024) takes on reality TV culture. Across all four novels, Devore writes characters who are unapologetically driven, sometimes ruthless, and always interesting to watch.
