Goodreads asked Heather Hendrie:

Where did you get the idea for your most recent book?

Heather Hendrie It all started when I went on a bad date last fall. I called a friend afterwards, upset, and she said, "just wait til you hear about the date I had this weekend." As we closed the conversation, shaking our heads, we both shared, "wow, with this much material, we should write a book!"
And so we did :)
