Goodreads asked Toi Thomas:

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

Toi Thomas I never thought romance was a good subject for me to write until someone told me that a small romance I wrote within a larger story was the best part. Later on, after watching a few romantic movies I actually like (not big on chick-flix), I got the idea of a story mash-up with some twists and extras. My current project is greatly inspired by the films Moonstruck, A Room with a View, and How to Make an American Quilt.
