À la dérive

The tension between the characters felt so authentic and playful. I'm curious whether this was based on personal experience or just a fun trope to explore.

There were moments that made me laugh out loud but also made me wonder if the humor might not land the same for everyone. How did the author strike that balance?

The characters' personal growth felt very genuine. I wonder what inspired the choices around their self-discovery journeys and how much was planned versus spontaneous.
