Ms. Bixby's Last Day

The story feels so genuine in capturing the nuances of friendship and grief at that age. I'm curious what motivated this particular focus.

The way the characters come together to support her was so touching, but also made me wonder how much of that was based on real middle school friendships.

The tone shifts felt natural but deliberate, and I wonder whether that was a challenge to get right or a conscious choice to reflect real life.
