Natural Twenty

The book has such a warm, lighthearted tone but also touches on serious themes. I wonder what led to that balance and how it was approached during writing.

It seemed like the 'natural twenty' concept symbolized luck and choice rather than a strict system. What do others think the magic represented in the story?

The small-town vibe and close-knit friendships felt so authentic. I'm curious whether the author based it on personal experiences or imagined it entirely.
