[edit] Trivia

• If you say Brad's first name and family name together, it will sound more like the name that nearly represents a person in real life. In this case, it is Bradley (Brad Lee).
• When Asher and Brad are exchanging numbers, both Asher's and Brad's number are nearly similar (Asher's number is 93516578, Brad's number is 94521578). These numbers are randomly typed by Aran, the writer of the book.
• The first rape incident was inspired by a true event. It also nearly depicted the same event of what happened to one of Aran's classmate.
• The school that was mentioned in the story was Anglo-Chinese School (Barker Road).
• The original idea for the cancelled "Titanic Book" Project, Court Case, was actually similiar to the first rape incident in this book.
