- Inspiration for the Work: Zevin admitted that a large part of the story was influenced by the September 11 attacks(She lived in New York at the time) and her dog developing Cancer.
- Reality Subtext: The inspiration for the work being 9/11 is possibly why Owen was a firefighter in life.
- Similarly Named Works: Shares a name with Elsewhere (2017).
- What Could Have Been:
- According to the Author Gabrielle Zevin, the book originally started life as two separate stories about a girl whose family died while she lived and a book that puts a twist on the love triangle story by having one guy die, go to the afterlife and falling in love with someone else...only to have his wife show up later. During the development process, she ended up combing the two ideas.
- Zevin's original plan for the story had Owen as the main protagonist.
