Tesouro e Sedução

The cozy vibe really drew me in, but I'm curious if the author based it on a real place or created it from scratch. How does the setting influence the characters' journey?

The book made me laugh and tear up in equal measure. How do authors decide when to lean into humor versus heartfelt moments?

I appreciated how the story took its time developing relationships without feeling slow. Was this structure planned from the start?
