Katherine Center is a bestselling author from Houston, Texas. She has written ten novels that have been praised for their ability to make readers laugh and cry. Center's books explore themes of resilience, with stories about characters who face challenges and find ways to overcome them. Her writing has been compared to that of Jane Austen and Nora Ephron, and she has been called the "reigning queen of comfort reads" by BookPage.
Center's first novel, The Bright Side of Disaster, was a success upon its release and was even optioned for film by Varsity Pictures. However, it was her novel How to Walk Away that brought her to the New York Times bestseller list and earned her a spot as a Book of the Month Club pick. In addition to her novels, Center has also had success in the world of film. Her novel The Lost Husband was adapted into a movie that starred Josh Duhamel and became a number one hit on Netflix. Another one of her novels, Happiness for Beginners, was also adapted into a Netflix movie, starring Ellie Kemper and Luke Grimes.
