Avery Thompson

Avery’s love of romance and “shipping” started when she became obsessed with soaps at an early age. Whether it’s a slow burn romance or a love triangle, Avery’s seen and loved them all. When she’s not catching up on screeners, Avery’s likely rewatching Sex and the City for the millionth time, finding a new rom-com to watch, and catching up on her reading list (it’s never-ending). Avery is a member of the Television Critics Association.
