The humor and tone reminded me of the TV series ( also a book, but I have only see the series) The Flight Attendant.

Additionally, I want my men and women to be relatable. I want my characters to come to life, and the only way I know to do that is to give them substance-passions, history, goals, quirks, and strong opinions-and to let them evolve.

There's a world to build, characters to develop, interests to create, and a topic or two to research thoroughly.
