Oliver was born in Queens and raised in Westchester, New York, in a small town very similar to the one depicted in Before I Fall. She is the daughter of true crime writer Harold Schechter. Her parents are both literature professors, and from a very young age, she was encouraged to make up stories, draw, paint, dance around in costumes, and essentially spend much of her time living imaginatively. Her love of writing began with writing imaginative sequels to her favorite stories, before gradually writing her own. She pursued literature and philosophy at the University of Chicago, and then moved back to New York to attend NYU’s MFA program in creative writing. She simultaneously began working at Penguin Books, in a young adult division called Razorbill, and while there, she started work on Before I Fall. She left in 2009 to pursue writing full-time, and now happily works at home. Oliver lives in Brooklyn, New York.
