Comme dans un roman d'été

The witty exchanges made me smile, but I wondered if it was a bit idealized. Did others feel the dialogue felt too polished or authentic?

The cozy, sun-soaked backdrop added a lot to the romance, but I’m curious if the story would work as well elsewhere or if the setting is essential.

Their differences drove much of the story’s humor and tension. I wonder if the author envisioned this from the start or discovered it as she wrote.
