ValiantVixen asked Kasie West:

I am a BIG fan of your books so of course when The Fill-In Boyfriend came out I HAD to read it. While reading, I was surprised at how much I related to Gia. The part where she is talking to Hayden's mom in the car after watching her brothers video about her was like she was in my head. Where did you get the inspiration to write her character?

Kasie West That makes me so happy that you related to her. I had hoped, when writing her, that she might speak to people. I think that's a little of how I felt as a teen. I got the inspiration not only from my own life but from viewing the lives of those around me who are facing today's challenges.
