YA author Jennifer Dugan was featured on PublishersWeekly.com for “Six Interviews with LGBTQ Children’s and YA Authors.” When asked about the inspiration for her most recent YA contemporary romance, Dugan said, “I wanted to feature two bi/pan kids in a relationship, particularly one who could appear heteronormative to outsiders . . . Unfortunately, biphobia is something that runs rampant not just in the world at large, but also within queer spaces. It was important to me to show bi/pan teens that it’s okay! You are still valid.” G.P. Putnam’s Sons for Young Readers published the book on April 21, 2020.
