Goodreads asked Thessa Lim:

Where did you get the idea for your most recent book?

Thessa Lim I've always wanted to write about women in a way that encourages. When I read books that were parts of series, I suddenly got the idea of writing about a group of women. And then, the Of Heads and Hearts series was born. Some stories in my first book, Of Heads and Hearts in the Metro, are inspired by events that happened to me, to family, or to friends. And some I heard are stories of friends of friends. Though these stories are of course skewed in order to suit fiction. The four female characters are composites of women I know and admire.
