Striking Distance

The character's growth felt very authentic, but I wonder what inspired the specific moments that marked their realization. Did the author base this on personal experience or observation?

The book made me laugh and then tugged at my heart. I’m curious if the author intended to keep that tone consistent or if it evolved during writing.

The contemporary environment felt very real and relatable. I wonder if the author drew from personal surroundings or crafted it purely from imagination.
