Better Hate than Never

The tension between the characters felt so authentic, but I wonder if that was a conscious choice or just how the story evolved. Did the author plan this dynamic from the start?

The banter made the story so fun, but there were also touching moments that felt genuine. How did the author strike that balance between comedy and heartfelt emotion?

The world felt lived-in and relatable, making the romance even more engaging. I'm curious whether the author drew from personal experiences or crafted it entirely from imagination.
