Le Secret de Jasper Jones

The small-town atmosphere feels almost like a character itself, shaping the characters' actions and attitudes. I'm curious how much the author drew from real places or experiences.

His decisions felt so complex and realistic, but I kept wondering if I’d react similarly in his situation. How did others interpret his moral dilemmas?

The voice felt authentic and heartfelt, capturing the confusion and innocence of adolescence. I wonder if the author based it on personal experiences or observations.
