La pluie, les garçons et autres choses mystérieuses (Broché)

The story takes place around New York City, which feels almost like a character itself. I wonder how much the author drew from her own experiences or city life to shape this vibrant backdrop.

There were parts where the focus on internal feelings slowed the story a bit, but it also made those moments more impactful. Was that balance intentional or just how the story naturally unfolded?

Switching between characters gave a fuller picture of the group dynamics, but I’m curious whether this was planned from the start or developed during writing.
