By Your Side

The slow build made the romance feel genuine, but I wondered if it was too subtle at times. Did the relationship develop too quickly or just right?

The story explores so much about growing up and finding your place, but the romance never overshadowed that. I’m curious how that balance was achieved during writing.

It felt cozy and intimate, almost like a character itself. I wonder if the author had a personal connection to libraries or chose it to symbolize refuge.
