Goodreads asked Whitney Fay:

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

Whitney Fay Collin and I share a love for 80s pop culture and originally Good Riddance started out dealing with a high school in the 80s, but then we knew we wanted kind of a flashback feel to the story. To make things easier we went with present-day and 90s high school flashbacks. It's filled with a lot of fun pop culture references and we sort of built the book around that.
