A Goodreads user asked Susan Elizabeth Phillips:

Hi SEP, your my favourite contemporary writer, it had to be you is my best romantic book. I'm so excited for the new Chicago stars series (I read the whole serie btw), this one is special cause you've included middle eastern characters.I'm from the Middle East, precisely Jordan, I had to ask about those characters, being from different culture, sometimes misjudgment may occur, what did you rely on for creating them?

Susan Elizabeth Phillips Nada:
I love writing multi-cultural characters, and I’m especially interested in Middle Eastern art and culture, but it can be difficult writing about another culture if you’re not part of it. It’s always a dilemma for a writer because, if you take a misstep, you hear about it!
