A Goodreads user asked Bill Konigsberg:

Was Rafe inspired by a real person in your life?

Bill Konigsberg Rafe wasn't inspired by anyone that I know... he just kind of appeared as I started to write the book, and as I got to know him I learned he is a little bit like a teenage me, and a little different. I really love Rafe a lot. It was fun to go back and write more Rafe for Honestly Ben.
