Op blote voeten

The characters' struggles with family and love felt so real — I found myself rooting for them. Did their stories resonate with others in a similar way?

The beach backdrop added such a calming yet bittersweet atmosphere. I wonder if the sense of place was inspired by the author's own experiences there or a love for coastal life.

Switching between characters gave a fuller picture of the community, but I wondered if that was planned from the start or a way to add depth during writing.
