Love, Hate & Hocus-Pocus

The mix of local traditions with magical themes really stood out to me. I'm curious whether this was a conscious choice or grew organically during writing.

The book swings between lighthearted moments and more intense feelings — I loved that but also wondered if that was intentional to reflect real life.

The tension between those emotions felt very real and complex, especially with the magic elements. What do you think led to exploring that duality?
