When It Counts

Penny Reid's humor really shines here, but I'm curious whether she aimed for a specific vibe or just let the characters' personalities shine through naturally.

Her personal growth was inspiring, but I also loved how the romance kept me guessing. Was that intentional to keep the reader engaged?

The book made me laugh but also touched on meaningful themes. I'm wondering if Penny Reid planned this duality from the start or discovered it as she wrote.
