Elise asked Laura Steven:

Hi Laura, I've just finished reading The Exact Opposite of Okay and absolutely loved it. Izzy really made me think of an older Georgia Nicolson in her humour and tone. She's a great character. I was just wondering why you decided to set the book in the US? I was surprised when I found out that you from the northernmost town in England. I had to go through the book again and see if I'd made up that Izzy was American.

Laura Steven Hey! I'm so glad you enjoyed the book. I decided to set the book in the US because revenge porn (the leaking of an explicit image or video without consent) is illegal in the UK. I wanted to focus more on the emotional aftermath rather than a lawsuit!
