Carnival of Secrets

The carnival setting feels so vibrant and alive, almost like a character itself. I wonder what inspired the choice to make it the heart of the story.

The relationships seemed layered with mystery and self-discovery, which made me think about how secrets shape connection. Am I the only one who found the romance refreshingly unconventional?

The pacing of revelations kept me hooked, but I wondered whether this was planned out from the start or developed organically during writing.
