The House at Mermaid's Cove

The coastal town feels so vivid and alive — I wonder if the author drew from real places or crafted it entirely from imagination.

The characters' layers and their pasts made me wonder how much of their true selves they were willing to reveal. Did the story make others think about the masks people wear?

The dual timelines added depth but also kept me guessing about how everything connected. I’m curious whether this structure was planned from the start or evolved during writing.
