A Perfect Vintage

The French backdrop seems to be almost a character itself. I'm curious how much the author envisioned the locale shaping the story's events and characters' development.

The story seemed to focus on self-discovery intertwined with romantic tension. Was that your impression too, or did the romance feel more traditional to others?

The combination felt fresh and immersive. I wonder if the author drew from personal experiences or aimed to evoke a specific vibe for summer readers.
