The Perfect Retreat

The peaceful surroundings seem to play a big role in their transformations. I'm curious if the author envisioned the retreat as a character itself or if it grew naturally during writing.

The lighthearted moments made the romance feel authentic without taking itself too seriously. Was that intentional or just how the story evolved?

Their individual stories felt so relatable, but I wonder what inspired the author to bring these particular perspectives together in one story.
