She graduated from Hunter College High School in 1991 and Brown University with an A.B. in 1995.[citation needed]
Sohn's novels include Prospect Park West (2009)[2] and its sequel Motherland (2012),[3] about four women who live in the Park Slope neighborhood of Brooklyn. In 2014, she published The Actress (Simon & Schuster), which Slate called "a valuable contribution to the canon of Hollywood fiction—a canon which is actually, incredibly, more sorely lacking strong female points of view than even Hollywood movies.”[4]
She was a contributing editor at New York magazine, where she wrote the weekly "Mating" column.[5] From 1996 to 1999 she wrote a dating column, "Female Trouble", for New York Press. Her articles and reviews have also appeared in The Nation, Playboy, Harper's Bazaar, Men's Journal and The New York Times Book Review. In 2012 she cowrote the book It's Not About the Pom-Poms with Laura Vikmanis.[6]
She wrote the films Pagans, which is in post-production, and Spin the Bottle, available through TLA Releasing.[citation needed] She cocreated, wrote and starred in the Oxygen television series Avenue Amy[7] and appears on television as a pundit on popular culture.[citation needed]
In 2022, she became a press secretary for New York City Mayor Eric Adams.[8]
