The story has those lighthearted moments but also some genuine emotional beats. I'm curious if that was a conscious choice or just how the story evolved.

Their interactions felt authentic and slow-burn, which made the romantic payoff so satisfying. Am I the only one who felt the friendship made the romance even sweeter?

The backdrop feels vibrant and lively—did the author base it on a real place or create it entirely from imagination? I'd love to hear more about the world-building process.
