Gare, in the story that's written in your head, as just explained, the main character Heather sees her writing hero essentially having it all, everything she wishes she had.  and experiences this much as a child would seeing something for the very first time, almost as if she didn't know it was even possible.  sort of like 'you can't miss what you never had' if you get my drift Gare.  However, once she sees it, as we say, she can't unsee it.  She begins revisiting it, in this case in the journals recorded by her hero writer in prior years.  these had been in possession of the hero writer's sister, who shares them with Heather.  Heather, you see, is writing a book about her hero author and thus is given valuable behind the scenes insight into her life that she had recorded.  But now that Heather knows the truth and what is possible, she begins a mental process of recalling what she has read.  And she begins, inevitably, to compare it to her own life and situation.
