Sascha Rothchild is a writer.
Sascha Rothchild grew up in Miami Beach. It was bananas. She majored in playwriting at Boston College. It was freezing. She moved to Los Angeles to become a writer. It was dramatic. After an infamous turn on This American Life, humorous personal essays published in LA Weekly, a comedic yet heartfelt memoir, How To Get Divorced By 30, published by Penguin/Plume, and many other jobs in between, Sascha is now an Emmy-winning screenwriter. She is proud of her work on the lauded shows GLOW, The Bold Type, The Babysitters-Club, The Carrie Diaries, and more. She is especially thrilled her debut novel, Blood Sugar, was published by Penguin/Putnam in 2022, garnering rave reviews from The New York Times, Publishers Weekly and others.

An utterly delicious debut thriller that tells the story of the most likable murderess you will ever meet, perfect for fans of Riley Sager and Jessica Knoll.
“I could just kill you right now!” It’s something we’ve all thought at one time or another. But Ruby has actually acted on it. Three times, to be exact.
Alternating between Ruby’s memories of her past crimes and her present-day fight to clear her name, Blood Sugar is a twisty, clever debut with an unforgettable protagonist who you can’t help but root for — an addicting mixture of sour and sweet.
