Ali asked Taylor Jenkins Reid:

You are by far one of my favorite authors, I love your story lines but mostly I love the way you tell a story and how the character's feelings come across as so authentic and real. Do you look back at past relationships as your insight for characters? Or if not, do you find inspiration from others?

Taylor Jenkins Reid Thank you so much! I think I'm always mining my everyday life for things to talk about. I find that if there is a problem that I'm thinking about regularly, it's probably something on other people's minds as well.

I've yet to take much that has *happened* in my personal life or past relationships and put i into my work but I am most certainly looking at how I *feel* or how I *felt* and analyzing those emotions to see if they lead to anything larger.
