Iris Kelly doesn't date

Her struggles felt so real, but I wondered if the book glossed over some of the more difficult parts of coming out. How did others relate to her process?

The setting gave such a vivid sense of place and community. I’m curious whether the author drew from personal experience or research to portray this environment authentically.

Listening to the characters’ voices brought them to life in a new way. Did the narration add layers to Iris’s personality or emotions that were different from reading?
