Rich boy

The book balances personal growth with social critique—I'm curious what motivated these themes to be central. Do they reflect the author's experiences or observations?

The mix made the story feel very real, but I wonder if that contrast was intentional to mirror real life’s ups and downs. What did others think about this tone balance?

The timeline shifts added layers to the story, but I’m curious whether this was planned from the beginning or evolved during writing. How does this structure enhance the themes?
