Clair de lune sur le lac

The small-town atmosphere feels so authentic and cozy — I wonder if the setting was inspired by real places or entirely fictional. Did it shape how the characters interacted and grew?

The slow burn made the moments of connection really resonate, but I kept wondering if the pacing might have been a bit slow for some readers. What was the author's intention here?

Their personal journeys felt genuine and relatable, and I’m curious what motivated the author to focus on these themes in this setting.
