Goodreads asked Melanie Murphy:

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

Melanie Murphy I was staring out an airplane window at some fluffy clouds and thinking about how WONDERFUL the movie 'About Time' is, and about how - instead of travelling through time - I'd love to have the power to see what my life might look like had I done things differently...to world hop. Then, I thought of my grandmother (rip), and the idea for 'If Only' sparked. By the time the plane landed, scenes were playing out in my mind in vivid detail and I couldn't wait to get home to my laptop so I could jot everything down!
