Susan Tuckett asked Ilima Todd:

If you were 17 again, what would you pick to look like and to be and why? Did you write the book because you wanted to be something else?

Ilima Todd Great question. I don't think I would have chosen to change anything; I've always been pretty comfortable in my own skin. Though if I could choose right now, it'd probably be to look like I did at 17, lol. I wrote this book for the opposite reason...I don't think we should have to change who we are or what we look like to be happy. Diversity is a beautiful thing and accepting ourselves the way we are, imperfections and all, is what I hope readers will take away from the book.
