In at the Deep End

The way the characters navigate their feelings felt incredibly authentic, but I wonder if that resonated with everyone else or if it was just me.

It added such a layered depth to the story, and I'm curious whether this was inspired by personal experience or a desire to explore self-discovery in fiction.

I found myself wishing for a bit more momentum, but I also appreciated the quiet moments. Does anyone think this balance worked well or could it have been tighter?
