Hearts of Fire

The book handles difficult subject matter with sensitivity, but I wonder how much was intentional to show hope amidst pain. Did anyone else feel this made the romance even more impactful?

The way the characters' relationships evolved felt authentic, but I’m curious if others thought the friends-to-lovers angle made the emotional stakes higher.

The contemporary backdrop felt so real and grounded — I wonder what inspired the author to choose this environment for exploring recovery and love.
