About the Author

After Rachel Hoover graduated from Christendom College, she watched her friends get married while she suffered through some tough breakups. That got her thinking deeply about the whole Catholic dating situation, which (as you probably know) has its own set of quirks and challenges.
 
Trying to be proactive, she started a Catholic singles group in the Diocese of Nashville, interviewed people from CatholicMatch, and consulted a range of experts. 
 
After publishing several viral articles on Catholic dating, she wrote Pretty Good Catholic, which serves as a how-to guide for even the most discouraged single men and women. While writing, Rachel took her own advice and found the love of her life. She lives in Nashville with her amazing new husband.
