Morelli was married to a man when she began writing OINTB in 2012 and has spoken candidly about coming to the realisation she was gay.

“I realised I was gay in fall 2012, one of my first days on the set, she told Mic. It wasn't so much one thing, but the sum of many small details: how uncomfortable I felt around groups of lesbians or how I considered myself (shrug) a ‘not very sexual person.’

“When considered alone, these seemed like little quirks that made me me. Wanting to read a book instead of have sex is a perfectly reasonable preference to have, right?”
