Muchachas: Tanz in den Tag - Roman Bd. 1

The cultural backdrop seems integral to their stories, but I wonder how much the author drew from real French life versus imagination. Did the setting shape the themes more than I realized?

The balance between lighthearted moments and emotional depth felt very intentional. I'm curious what motivated the focus on these themes and how they reflect the author's own experiences.

There were parts where I wanted more plot momentum, but I see the importance of those moments for character development. Was that a deliberate choice to deepen emotional connection?
