Alegrias e Tristezas de Martha Friel

Mason balances humor and pain so deftly, making the protagonist's struggles feel authentic without overwhelming the story. Did anyone else feel this was a delicate tightrope walk?

Her experiences felt painfully relatable at times, especially in moments of vulnerability. I'm curious how others processed those parts emotionally.

The mix kept me engaged and made the heavy themes more digestible. I wonder if this tone was mapped out from the beginning or evolved during writing.
