La casa sulla spiaggia

The seaside backdrop feels so integral to the story's mood and development. I'm curious whether the author envisioned the setting first or if it evolved naturally during writing.

The pacing felt a bit rushed in the final chapters, especially with some emotional moments. Was this intentional to heighten the drama or just a natural conclusion?

The blend of family history and contemporary romance added depth, but I wonder if the author planned this structure from the start or adapted it as they wrote.
