Is what is portrayed a true reflection of your relationships, first, with your girlfriend and then second, with your fiancé? LY: So, for our community, I think there are two questions that most of us are curious about. But literally from the first episode, the show makes some really dramatic departures from the true story that’s told in the book. I gave them permission to use my first name. You know, obviously the grounding point for that character, sort of the offense and you know, obviously the demographics are the same and the first name is the same. I think they’ve done a fabulous job but no one should imagine that every single thing they see on the screen is an accurate depiction of my own life. It is really brilliant adaptation that Jenji Kohan (producer of the show) has done. The show is not a biopic by any stretch of the imagination. No, I mean, the character Piper Chapman is that, she’s a character. I was just curious, do you think given that as our introduction to you that we have gotten to know you and your real story? LY: I got to know you, I think like many of our readers, through the Netflix series of the same name and based on your book, Orange Is the New Black.
