Olga writes darker, funnier YA novels. Her main characters are real young people, in search of an identity, higher purpose and personal freedom. They are often lost souls with a grudge against the norms and expectations imposed on them by society, willing to do anything it takes to break free of those confines. They believe in nothing, yet deep inside they harbour hope for finding a life that's worth living. Their rage is palpable. Their honesty breathtaking. Their paths extreme. And their sense of humour just doesn't give a shit.

Olga grew up in a small town in the former Yugoslavia, where she tried her very best to keep her nose in a book and out of trouble. This didn't work out all that well, so she packed up her bags and took off in search of everything and nothing in particular. Currently residing in the UK, but her search is far from over.

Olga reviews movies and TV shows on her website, olgabogdan.com (with a little help from Helena, a sixteen-year-old fictional character who simply refuses to leave).
