Fuego en Oxford

The inclusion of poetry added a lyrical layer to the narrative, but I wonder if that was planned from the start or evolved during writing. Did it influence how the characters’ emotions were portrayed?

I appreciated how the book handled complex emotions without feeling overly sentimental. Did others find the emotional authenticity relatable or triggering?

The small-town backdrop feels cozy yet layered with unspoken stories. I'm curious whether the setting was based on a real place or a fictional creation meant to evoke nostalgia.
