Eeva Lancaster asked Lauren Greene:

Lauren, what inspired the story of No Turning Back?

Lauren Greene Eeva, thanks for asking. When I wrote "No Turning Back," I felt stuck in my past, and a lot of the writing of this novel was a cathartic exercise for me. I think a lot of women have experience with unrequited love, I know I did, and it was something I was trying to come to terms with through my writing. I drew on my experiences with that, as well as stories I'd heard from other people to come up with the idea. The accident incorporated within "No Turning Back," came from a vivid dream that resonated with me. It gave me background into Kaia's life, which helps to shape who she is and why she makes the decisions she does.
