I Love You Like It's 1999

The nostalgia for the late 90s really adds a nostalgic charm, but I'm curious whether the setting was driven by personal memories or a desire to evoke a specific mood.

The fantasy aspects added a fun twist, but I wondered if they overshadowed the romantic storyline or enhanced it — what was the author's goal here?

Some lines had me laughing out loud. I'm interested in how the author approaches humor within a romantic fantasy context — is it based on personal style or a conscious choice?
