1996

The year 1996 adds a nostalgic feel that really colors the story. I'm curious whether the setting was chosen for personal reasons or for its cultural significance.

The mix of friendship, love, and confusion felt very authentic to that era. Were these dynamics intentionally reflective of the time period's social scene?

It’s easy to get caught up in the 90s details, but I wondered how the author kept the story feeling new and engaging for modern readers.
