Anna Taylor asked Kelly Cain:

How much of this story is related to you?

Kelly Cain There are parts here and there, but mostly small parts. I was in law school at some point and did meet an 18 or 19-year-old who'd already graduated with a degree in engineering (I believe his was chemical though). We were friends, but didn't hang out when we weren't at school. I also had a fiance and some of those scenarios are similar to what happened, but not exact by any means.

There are some of my family members that are near to characters in the story. Both Janine and Chloe are based on cousins although none of those scenarios ever happened.

Most of the places in the story are real places I've been. I went to school in Houston (including TSU mentioned in the book), grew up in Stockton, and my mom's family is indeed from Austin, and several members still live there.

There may be other similarities here and there, but all have been fictionalized including what I mentioned above.
