    Annie Roos

    After growing up in the East Bay, with summers in the Poconos, a couple years in San Diego, then a couple more at the University of California, Davis, plus one magical summer studying abroad in Scotland, Annie is happy to have landed here at LuLu*s in lovely Chico, California. She is thrilled to be putting her English degree to use writing about everything that she thinks every girl will love. Her free time is all about her love for film, reading, writing, and decorating her new apartment.
