Un conte parfait

The way the characters support each other really stood out, but I wondered if the romantic tension overshadowed that. What did others think about the balance between friendship and love in the story?

The setting really brought the characters and their journeys to life. It made me curious whether this place is based on a real city or a fictional one created to serve the story.

Some parts felt slow while others moved quickly, but I wasn't sure if that was intentional to build tension or just how the story evolved. Would love to hear others' thoughts.
