Sharon asked Cheyanne Young:

I just finished Somewhere Only We Know, which I really loved. Your characters really came to life in that book and I was wondering if they were modeled after real people?

Cheyanne Young Hi Sharon! Somewhere Only We Know is actually the only book I've written that was slightly modeled after real people. My friend Shawn inspired this story after suffering a traumatic brain injury. You can read more about it on my blog here: http://cheyanneyoung.blogspot.com/201...

As for Sadie's anxiety, I used my own experiences in dealing with anxiety to describe her attacks. Thanks so much for the question!
