So fun to read! Having the characters talk to the author is a great way to sort of break the fourth wall without actually talking to the audience, and it's a fun insight into how writing stories works for many authors. Even without the author interactions, the story would be great to read as a standalone.

The main character'd spouse had been dead nearly a year at the beginning of the novel, and the grief and cause of that death are important to the plot.
