Goodreads asked Meg Flores:

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

Meg Flores I went through a heartbreak that stunned me, and realized how much fear I associate with love because my past, too, was full of leaving. I guess I just kept thinking of it. It all kept returning to me as one experience. Even when I met someone new. So I asked myself, what if you tried to say something about this? What if you faced every story at once? I feel like there's this expectation that the second you find someone else, you leave the old behind and for me there wasn't that distinct separation between a beginning and an end. For me, love was so much more encompassing than that. And I think that's true for all of us, if we're honest with ourselves.
