Scruples Two

The time jump really changed the dynamics between characters. I'm curious whether this was planned from the start or a decision made later to reflect real life progression.

The mix of luxury and emotional complexity made the story so addictive. Did readers find that the characters' flaws made them more relatable despite the opulence?

Spanning fifteen years allows for deep character development, but I wonder what motivated this choice and how it affected the story's tone.
