Warten auf Bojangles

The book shifts seamlessly from lighthearted moments to emotional depth. I'm curious whether this contrast was planned from the start or evolved during writing.

The characters feel so alive and quirky, like real people who refuse to fit into typical molds. Did others see a reflection of real-life families in this portrayal?

Music plays such a vital role, almost like a character itself. I'm wondering if there was a particular song or musical influence that sparked this choice.
