* UnintentionalPeriodPiece: In an early scene where Jack watches television, he makes reference to the two most popular shows on Creator/{{Nickelodeon}} in 2009, these being ''WesternAnimation/SpongeBobSquarePants'' and ''WesternAnimation/DoraTheExplorer''. While ''[=SpongeBob=]'' has continued to be a major success into the 2010s and 2020s, ''Dora'' ended in 2015 and the franchise has mostly been dormant since, while ''WesternAnimation/PAWPatrol'' took its crown as the #1 preschool-oriented show on Nickelodeon.

* AluminumChristmasTrees: At the start of the book, Jack mentions watching episodes of certain cartoons, one of them being a ''WesternAnimation/SpongebobSquarepants'' episode that Jack describes as having a "creepy pencil". While a good portion of people would recognize that as the episode "Frankendoodle", fewer people would probably realize that the ''WesternAnimation/DoraTheExplorer'' episode Jack mentions where a robot butterfly steals Swiper's mask and gloves is also a real episode ([=S4E6=] "Dora's Got a Puppy").

** The novel is based off of the Fritzl case. In reality, the author has clarified that the idea of a mother raising her child in captivity was simply ''inspired'' by the Fritzl case, and the rest of the novel was all made up by herself.
** A smaller number of people say the story was based off of Jaycee Lee Dugard, which hadn't even been discovered yet at the time of the author writing the novel.
