Janet asked Jennifer Weiner:

What significance does the name Bethy have for you?

Jennifer Weiner A few things. Beth from "Little Women" was a major inspiration for my Bethie -- a good girl who doesn't die, but who, instead, suffers through what the world can do to good girls. And this wasn't foremost on my mind while I was writing, but Beth is my sister's middle name.
