This question contains spoilers… (view spoiler)

Meredith Russo No specific event in the book is autobiographical, but the patches of characterization, background, and plot of the world around me make up a lot of the quilt in it, because how could it not? And, yes, without going into too much detail, I am a survivor of physical bullying, mental illness (two suicide attempts), domestic violence, and sexual assault. Believe it or not, though, I'm happier than I've ever been.

Sarah Ward asked Meredith Russo:

Hi! Reading 'If I Was Your Girl' and 'Birthday,' I noticed that both Morgan and Amanda's dads were traditionally masculine guys who had trouble accepting their daughters' gender identities but then ended up coming around and supporting them. It's a nice change utterly unsupportive most dads of transgender characters are, and I was wondering since the arcs had some similarities if your dad was kind of similar? :)

A Goodreads user asked Meredith Russo:

Meredith! I had the honor of reading your debut novel "If I was your Girl", and I want to praise you for your bravery in shining a light on the ones who are scared to come forth. Being transgender, it was so heart-warming reading your book and feeling safe and at home in every single word. My question to you: How did it feel being so emotionally invested in this book? What have you gained from this experience?
