Es sollte doch ein Abschied sein

The cozy community feel really brought the story to life. I'm curious if the setting was inspired by a personal place or a fictional ideal.

The slow burn made their connection feel genuine, but I wondered if the author planned the chemistry from the start or let it develop naturally.

It felt very authentic and uplifting. I'm interested in what prompted Debbie Macomber to explore this idea—was it personal or something she wanted to convey to readers?
