The Friends We Keep

The book handles heavy themes but also has a warm, whimsical feel. I'm curious if that contrast was intentional or grew naturally during writing.

The characters' relationships felt so genuine, I wondered if the author drew from real-life experiences or observations. Did it resonate with anyone else’s friendships?

The small-town vibe felt very vivid and authentic. I wonder if the author had a particular location in mind or if it was more of a fictional creation.
