A Goodreads user asked Harper Bliss:

(1) If Margot hadn't felt so guilty about breaking up with Claire (maybe Claire held together until Margot left her apartment) would she have entered into a relationship with Inez? Could it have worked out or was the spark truly gone forever? (2) If Inez hadn't left the second time, would her presence continue to mess with Margot's feelings? (3) Who is the fantasy casting for Inez? Thanks for doing those btw!

Harper Bliss Hi,

Thanks for your question. Not an easy one to answer, to be completely honest. I've written so many books since the first 3 seasons of French Kissing and being a massive pantser, I can't clearly remember all my (many) characters' motivations. But I'll have a go... ;-)
1) I've always seen Margot as someone with very strong morals (stronger than most) so the break-up did contribute.... and helped me make the decision for Margot to give in to Inez. The circumstances definitely played a part!
2) Yes, that's why she had to go.
3) I looked through my notes and don't think I ever fantasy-cast Inez (as her character was too minor -- although her presence did have big consequences!)

I hope this was useful!

Best,
Harper
