Goodreads asked Lorenzo Petruzziello:

Where did you get the idea for your most recent book?

Lorenzo Petruzziello I wrote 'The Love Fool' while I was living in Rome back in 2011. I sat down one day and thought to myself, "I should write a book." That was it. I would stroll around Rome and think about stories, situations, interactions and my mind churned with ideas. I would then returned to my flat and started typing - and before I knew it, I had a large chunk of what is now 'The Love Fool'.
