Susin Nielsen’s first adult novel, the funny and thought-provoking Snap , opens with 55-year-old Frances, a writer of popular Y/A novels who is emotionally wrecked after her marriage ends.

While the incident with the kid in Toronto was the early seed of Nielsen 's idea for an adult novel.

Nielsen was further inspired to age up through her work as a TV writer.

In Snap , she has Francis coming home from a disastrous online date and settling in with her daughter and a drink.

The pair switch on the TV and watch Family Law reruns so “Frances could have a laugh and be soothed by the presence of Victor Garber ” “Isn’t that terrible?” said Nielsen .
