Courtney Whetten asked Kasie West:

What was your experience in creating main character Lily from P.S. I Like You? I found that I related to her in so many ways it was almost like we were the same person and I was just reading another version of my life. It was kind of freaky. When she refused to tell Cade the truth because she was scared of what would happen, I was yelling at her to just tell him the truth but then realized I would have done the same.

Kasie West AW! This makes me so happy. I'm glad you related so much to Lily. I thought about Lily a lot before I wrote the book. I thought about what personality traits would work the best with this plot and what kinds of things she'd need to learn. That's mostly how I came up with her. And then, of course, as I wrote her, more things came to me about her and she grew. I'm always glad to hear when someone sees themselves in a character.
