Elle asked Laurie Devore:

What influenced your writing of Olivia? I just finished reading how to break a boy, and it's one of the best books I've read this year!

Laurie Devore Thank you so much!

Olivia was inspired by my interest in the mean girl trope. I noticed that often in pop culture, there were mean girl characters who hated the main character for no reason. I wanted to know more about those mean girls - who they were and what made them tick.
