PEARL Reporter Lorna Nickson-Brown (UK) interviewed Daria Snadowsky via e-mail about her debut novel, Anatomy of a Boyfriend

How far is Anatomy of a Boyfriend based on your own teenage experiences/relationships?

Although the page-to-page plot of Anatomy of a Boyfriend is fiction, I've personally experienced every emotional high and low Dom endures throughout the course of her relationship with Wes, and I don't think I could have written a word of the book had I not "been there" myself. When you're in a relationship with someone you care for and it's going great, there's nothing better. And when someone you care for stops caring for you, there's not much worse.
