She warns against "scouring the pages for thinly disguised characterizations of Kevin Drew, Emily Haines or Amy Millan". Although Kaslik stated "It's definitely based on a world that I know", she brushed off claims that the connection goes very deep, saying "it would be mistaken and scurrilous to try to identify individual people".

It is also suggested that Broken Social Scene is used as basis for a band that appears in Kaslik's second novel The Angel Riots, about a rising indie rock band from Montreal.

If Broken Social Scene was an indie rock supergroup allegedly powered by male energy - that of founders Brendan Canning and Kevin Drew, who co-write nearly every song - then its female vocalists Emily Haines, Leslie Feist and Amy Millan were the band’s under-acknowledged celebrities. In 2018, NPR ranked this as the #61 greatest song by a female or nonbinary artist in the 21st century, saying:
