The First Time I Saw You

The setting feels so intimate and relatable — I wonder if real-life moments like these sparked the idea or if it was purely fictional.

The chemistry between the characters was palpable, but I was surprised by how fast the feelings escalated. Was that intentional to keep the pace lively?

The book had me laughing one minute and tearing up the next — I’d love to hear how those tonal shifts were planned or evolved during writing.
