Elizabeth Topp is a graduate of the Dalton School, Harvard College, and the Columbia School of the Arts. Topp coauthored her first book, Vaginas: An Owner’s Manual, with her gynecologist mother while she worked as a private assistant, a job she still holds. Topp lives in the same Manhattan apartment from her childhood with her partner, Matthew; daughter, Anna; and their cat, Stripes. Perfectly Impossible is her debut novel.
