Goodreads asked Jessica Goodwin:

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

Jessica Goodwin From Facebook. I know sites like Facebook have been around for years now but it still amazes me how you can find someone and reconnect with someone that you completely lost touch with. What really amazes me is how a lot of the people that I talk to the most on Facebook are people that I didn't really hang out with or have a lot in common with in high school are some of the people that I talk to most these days. I kind of wanted to write about how sometimes, the people you were mean to, overlooked, or ignored in high school can end up being some of the nicest people you come to know as an adult. You might not have had much in common as kids, but as you get older, you realize there are more important things that can bring people together.
