You Can Die

The pacing felt tense and layered, but I wondered whether the romance or the mystery took precedence during writing. Did the author intend for these to intertwine equally?

The protagonist's journey felt very raw and compelling, making me root for them even when their choices were risky. How much of that emotional depth was based on real experiences or research?

The atmosphere of the town felt so authentic and immersive. I'm curious whether the setting was inspired by a real location or a fictional creation that grew out of the story.
