Goodreads asked Virgil Allen Moore:

What mystery in your own life could be a plot for a book?

Virgil Allen Moore There was a scandalous paper that was released during the last 4 days of my freshman year of high school in Gainesville, Florida. The paper had very detailed illicit information about seven or eight very popular girls at my high school. The families called in private investigators, tried to blame over two dozen people for it, and interrogated more than 30. It was utter chaos. People were blaming others left and right for writing it. Friends were turning on friends. It was madness. In the end, no one ever found out who wrote the paper. But, I'm pretty sure the echoes of that week inspired the movie Mean Girls.
