Un été à Cranberry Point

The cozy, community-focused setting feels so authentic, but I wonder what inspired her to set the story specifically in Cedar Cove and emphasize these relationships.

I found myself rooting for the characters' happiness and growth, but some scenes made me tear up unexpectedly. Was that intentional?

The interactions between townspeople seem to drive the story as much as the main romances. How much of that was planned versus evolving naturally during writing?
