Sweet Friend of Mine

The cozy town feels so vivid — I wonder if it was based on a real place or entirely imagined. Did the author draw from personal experience or research?

The relationships felt genuine and nuanced, but I was surprised by how deeply I cared about the characters' conflicts. Did others find themselves relating to their struggles?

The story moved just fast enough to keep me engaged without rushing through the small-town details. Was this a deliberate choice to create a relaxing reading experience?
