A Phi Beta Kappa graduate of Northwestern University, she also holds a master’s degree in marketing from Northwestern.

Her latest novel, The English Masterpiece, releases on June 10, 2025. It tells the story of a young woman framed for forging a Picasso discovered in London’s Tate Gallery in 1973.
Since her debut in 2013, Reay has released a book nearly every year—many with playful nods to classic literature.
