Love Him Like Water

The story has a very intense, sometimes brutal atmosphere, but also tender moments. I'm curious how the author approached blending these tones seamlessly.

The characters’ antagonistic relationship was so layered, I kept wondering if their chemistry was inevitable or if it was a risky path to take. Did anyone else feel conflicted about rooting for them?

The details about the mafia lifestyle and hierarchy felt very authentic, making me wonder how much research went into creating this backdrop. What scenes or details stood out as particularly vivid?
