Le Secret de Lily Quinn

The setting feels almost like a character itself, bustling and full of life. I'm curious whether the author envisioned it as a reflection of the protagonist's internal chaos or something else.

The way the characters grapple with who they are and what they want felt very real. I wonder how much of their journeys reflect common experiences or personal stories from the author.

The book seamlessly shifts between humor and heartbreak, which kept me engaged. I'm interested in whether this tonal balance was planned from the start or developed during writing.
