Abbi Glines, whose birth name is Lora Abigail Potts, is an American author known for her bestselling novels in the new-adult fiction genre. She has been recognized as a New York Times, USA Today, and Wall Street Journal bestselling novelist. Her notable works include the Too Far series, starting with Fallen Too Far, which was self-published as an eBook and paperback in 2012. The follow-up books, Never Too Far and Forever Too Far, achieved significant success, particularly among younger audiences, despite the 16+ rating due to explicit content. Besides the Too Far series, she is also known for her young adult bestselling series, The Vincent Boys.

Glines was born in Birmingham, Alabama, and grew up in Sumiton, Alabama. She left the small town at eighteen, following her high school sweetheart to the coast, where she has remained since. When she's not writing, Abbi enjoys reading, watching Netflix, and engaging in introverted activities. She has a quirky habit of asking if a house is haunted before entering and drinks afternoon tea, aspiring to British customs, even though she resides in New England.
