When She Was Gone

The story layered their histories so subtly — I kept wondering how much of their trauma shaped their choices. Did the backstories make anyone else feel more connected to the characters?

Shifting viewpoints added suspense and depth, but I wonder if it was planned from the start or evolved during writing. How did this structure influence the pacing and reveal of secrets?

The quiet moments allowed for reflection but sometimes dulled the suspense. Did the author aim for a slower burn, or was it a challenge to keep the momentum?
