Better Than Friends

The slow-building tension felt very authentic, but I'm curious if that was planned from the start or evolved naturally through the writing process.

I loved how the friendship was so well-developed before the romance blossomed, but I wonder if that made the transition more challenging or rewarding.

The small-town vibe really added to the cozy feel of the book. I'd love to know if the author drew from personal experiences or created it entirely from imagination.
