Escape to the French Farmhouse

The picturesque French countryside adds so much charm—I'm curious whether the author visited these places or imagined them. Did the setting shape the characters' journeys in unexpected ways?

The book made me smile but also touched on themes of healing and self-discovery. How did others connect with the more heartfelt parts of the story?

The layered storytelling added depth, but I wonder if this structure was planned from the start or evolved during writing. What do you think led to this approach?
