Rebecca Donovan is an American novelist. Her books have a special appeal to twenty-somethings, a market category publishers call new adult. Donovan, who had previously worked as an events planner, began as a self-published author, but in 2012, Penguin acquired the U.K. rights to her successful "Breathing" series.

He's expected to serve half of his sentence.
