Thank you for the kind words! I really appreciate it.
Initially, I wanted Monaco Was Never Ours just in Maria’s POV, I wanted the readers to be able to imagine themselves in her shoes. However, I found it quite difficult to express how Lando was feeling just through Maria’s POV. Later in the book, I started to write from his pov as well and the new book (which in my opinion is much deeper on an emotional level) has dual pov from the beginning.
With the first book, I learned a lot about writing. I wasn’t even meant to publish it, I was writing it mostly for myself to learn and heal through that book. Maria’s character is very much inspired by my own person, meanwhile Ethan and everything that he puts Maria through is what actually happened between me and my ex. He is the reason I searched for healing and letting go through writing that book and depicting a new love that’s messy, powerful but healthy.
The book I’m currently writing is a work of imagination and honestly I can’t wait to publish more from it. I have a couple of chapters ahead and no one is ready for what’s about to happen!!
