It’s always interesting to me to see how a character can get information in new and clever ways-without just asking. Were you able to make use of your acting experience?Īs far as the investigating Abby does, I’ve had a pretty great crash course in that exact thing, because I play a private investigator on television. I have strong feelings about girls and how they are treated, and how those things mold them. I have a young sister, so I got to absorb and see things through her lens a little bit. I took inspiration from what girls are going through now with social media. I sometimes felt like an outcast-we all know how teenage girls can be-but this book is fiction. There’s nothing literal in the book that’s based on my own high school experiences. Was there anything about your high school experience that you used in the book? But that’s what the art of writing is for. I do not live in that darkness day to day. But Abby explores a darker corner of my brain. I think we share a strength, and maybe even a loner quality. At times, I felt alone, and I wasn’t encouraged. I felt like I didn’t belong, and I felt out of place. Like Abby, I’ve also left a tiny town for a big city to chase dreams and my independence. Going home is hard and oddly claustrophobic. I think many of us can relate to Abby’s situation.
