Shannon Takaoka has worked as a writer, editor, and public relations consultant in the technology and life sciences field. She is a lover of all things nerdy—from time travel to weird science and dragons. Everything I Thought I Knew is her first novel. She lives in the San Francisco Bay Area with her husband and two children.
“Everything I Thought I Knew is a page-turning, mind-bending story
of hope and healing. The reader will root for Chloe from page one
as she navigates her world post–heart transplant and tries to meld
her prior reality with her new one. I couldn’t put it down; it is a
beautiful debut from a talented new voice in YA.”
