Joe LaBrava

The setting feels so alive and specific—I'm curious if the city itself played a role in shaping the story or if it was more of a backdrop.

His quiet struggles and desire for connection resonated with me, but I wonder if others saw his loneliness as a strength or a flaw.

The story moved at just the right speed to keep me hooked without feeling hurried. Wondering if this was a deliberate choice or evolved during drafting.
