Un bacio d'estate

The small-town vibe really comes alive in the story, making me wonder whether the setting was based on a real place or entirely imagined. How did the author decide on this particular locale?

Their interactions felt genuine and sweet, but I was curious if that was something the author worked on intentionally or just came out during writing. What makes romantic chemistry feel authentic on the page?

The book made me laugh but also touched on meaningful themes about family and second chances. I wonder what choices were made to maintain that balance without it feeling jarring.
