Driven to Distraction

The story feels very grounded and relatable—I'm curious whether the setting was based on a real place or invented to fit the mood.

I loved how relatable the character’s struggles were, but at times I wondered if the distractions were amplified for the story’s emotional impact.

The mix of lighthearted moments with more serious themes made the book feel well-rounded. I'm interested in how that balance was approached during writing.
