The Secrets We Keep

The pacing keeps me hooked, but I'm curious about how the gradual reveal was planned. Did the structure evolve during writing or was it mapped out early on?

The characters’ actions often felt morally complex, which made me wonder if I was alone in sympathizing with their dilemmas or judging them too harshly.

The setting feels so intimate and lived-in, almost like a character itself. I'm curious whether the town is based on a real place or if it was entirely fictional from the start.
