Ricochet (Il tormento e l'estasi di Ophelia Aster)

The story beautifully weaves romance with deep bonds of friendship. I'm curious how much of that was planned from the start versus evolving during writing.

The characters’ struggles felt very authentic, which made me connect more deeply. Did their personal growth resonate differently with others?

The environment felt so vivid and lived-in, adding to the story’s charm. I wonder if the setting was based on real places or purely fictional.
