Let's take a dive into the inspiration behind some of the characters in my book, Sex, Death & Diane.
The narrator Sara is inspired by myself. Her thoughts, emotions, and journey reflect those of my own.
Diane is based on a best friend I had growing up. We took separate paths after graduation, my best friend decided to stay in the small town where we grew up. I went to a big city for college.
Ari and Bruce were based on real students I went to college with. There were many people like them, I captured all of their great acts of selflessness into these two characters. I am grateful for their activism.
Ivy Schlossberg was based on a teacher I had, who made us much more mindful as young students. She opened our eyes and was a very passionate teacher.
This is just a quick glimpse into these characters, I hope you will get a copy of Sex, Death & Diane to read more about them!
