Goodreads asked Avery Bridge:

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

Avery Bridge Back in 2018, my partner at the time came out as nonbinary. Some people in my life struggled (or flat-out refused) to use their correct pronouns, claiming it wasn't grammatically correct. So in typical Avery style, I decided I had to prove them wrong by writing a grammatically correct character study. I couldn't find any nonbinary representation anywhere, and one day we were watching "she's the man" and I just kept thinking, why isn't there something like this where the character is actually queer? After that my little character study expanded into a book, and now I can't wait for you all to meet Riley and Sebastian :-)
