Gone With a Handsomer Man

The book balances comedy with deeper emotional moments so well. I wonder if the author intended humor as a way to soften tough themes.

The setting adds so much charm and character to the story, making it almost a character itself. I'm curious whether the town was based on a real place or purely fictional.

The mystery added an intriguing layer but felt a bit rushed at times. Do others think it could have been expanded or integrated differently?
