Neighborly

The way neighbors interact can be so layered and complex. I'm curious whether the author drew from personal experiences or observations to craft these characters.

The gradual build-up of suspicion and trust felt very natural to me. Did the pacing of this tension work for others, or did it feel rushed at any point?

The timing of revelations kept me hooked, but I'm wondering if this was plotted out in advance or if it evolved during writing.
