Rule #3: You Can't Kiss Your Best Friend

The book manages to be both funny and touching without feeling uneven. I'm curious if that was a conscious choice during writing or something that evolved naturally.

The push and pull between wanting to stay friends and risking it all for love felt so real. Did others find themselves rooting for or fearing the characters' choices?

The familiar environment added charm and authenticity. I wonder if the author drew from personal experiences or crafted it entirely from imagination.
