Bride - Die unergründliche Übernatürlichkeit der Liebe

The book manages to be funny while still exploring meaningful themes. I wonder if that mix was intentional from the start or a happy accident.

The chemistry was undeniable, but I was surprised at how fast things moved. Do you think this pacing worked for the story or detracted from it?

I'm curious whether the setting was based on a real place or entirely imagined, and how much research went into creating that world.
