Where did your inspiration come from when you wrote Up In The Treehouse?

K.K. Allen Hi Nicole! Up in the Treehouse was in part inspired by a scene I wrote in The Descendants, a YA Fantasy novel, where the main character spied her neighbors, two brothers, as they played in their Treehouse. I had been wanting to write a contemporary romance for some time and that scene triggered something for me. If you've read Up in the Treehouse you know there are many layers of plot, so the treehouse became the foundation for all "branches" of the story. I wanted to capture the innocence of love, the destruction of that innocence as we grow older, and how sometimes we are our own worst enemy.

Thank you for your question!
