Laurie Elizabeth Flynn is a former model who lives in London, Ontario, with her husband and three children. She is the author of three young adult novels:
Firsts, a YALSA Best Fiction for Young Adults pick, along with
Last Girl Lied To and
All Eyes on Her, under the name L.E. Flynn.
Her adult debut,
The Girls Are All So Nice Here, has sold in nine territories and has been optioned for television by AMC.
At Electric Lit Flynn tagged nine novels about women who reject expectations. One title on the list:
The Hunting Wives by May Cobb
This bold, unapologetic novel, releasing in May, has already garnered big buzz, for good reason. Sophie has recently abandoned 
her Chicago career for a slower-paced lifestyle in small-town Texas with her husband and son, a lifestyle within which she’s expected to be satisfied and fulfilled. But Sophie finds herself bored quickly, and her fixation with a beautiful, charismatic socialite fills the void. She joins up with the Hunting Wives, but this is no clique of suburban moms: these women play games, some with devastating consequences. What I loved was the upending of the “old boys’ club” stereotype. These women have big sexual appetites and aren’t constrained within any sort of framework.
