The inspiration for this book partly lies with the very famous Dan Chaon, who wrote YOU REMIND ME OF ME. Courtney studied under him at Oberlin college and gleaned every bit of his wit and smart approach to his work while provided his tutelage. Courtney set out in this novel to ask the question: can love be ordinary even for the extraordinary? As you read and connect with the two main characters in the book who possess incredible powers, you'll see their love is anything but!
