Love, Hate & Other Filters

The way the protagonist navigates her cultural identity and romantic feelings felt authentic but also heartbreaking. How did others connect with that inner conflict?

The setting added so much depth to the characters' experiences. I'm curious whether the author drew from personal experiences or research for this environment.

The conclusion left me with a lot to think about regarding identity and belonging. Did the author intend this ending from the start or did it evolve during writing?
