Ripped at the Seams

The story feels so relatable in how it explores self-esteem and identity. I wonder what inspired the choices behind her personal growth arc.

The friendships seemed to carry a lot of emotional weight, sometimes more than the romantic subplot. What did others think about how these relationships evolved?

The small-town vibe added a cozy feel, but I'm curious whether the author based it on a real place or created it from imagination.
