The Secret Cove in Croatia

The setting really brought the story to life, but I wonder how much of the locale was based on personal experience or research. Did the sense of place make anyone else want to visit Croatia?

The intertwining stories added depth, but I’m curious whether this structure was planned from the start or developed as the story evolved. Did it influence how the characters’ arcs unfolded?

Some scenes made me laugh out loud, while others touched on deeper themes. I wonder what the process was behind blending humor and heart in this book.
