Mädchen brennen heller

The novel's diverse settings add richness to the characters' journeys. I'm curious how much was based on personal experience or research.

Some moments felt almost too raw, but I couldn't look away. Did the author intentionally evoke such strong feelings or was it a natural result?

The resilience shown by the characters felt inspiring but also starkly real. What do you think led to emphasizing hope as a central theme?
