The Shining Girls - Gadis Gadis Gemerlap

The shifting timelines kept me on my toes but also made me wonder how much planning went into the story's structure. Was it all mapped out from the start or did it evolve during writing?

The characters' personal pain felt very real, but I wondered how much of that was inspired by the author's own experiences or observations.

The premise is so unique and haunting—I'm curious whether it was driven by a particular event or a desire to explore themes of fate and justice.
