悲しいほどときめいて

The slow burn really paid off, but I wonder what choices led to building their connection gradually. Was this a conscious decision or did it evolve naturally?

The book explores some heavy class issues, and I was surprised by how much I found myself sympathizing with both sides. How did others feel about the portrayal of social expectations?

The detailed world-building really brought the era to life. I'm curious whether the author drew from personal research or existing favorites in historical fiction.
