The Trick is to Keep Breathing

The book’s intense emotional depth made me wonder what personal or artistic influences shaped this honest exploration. Did the author draw from personal experience or a desire to break stigma?

The introspective sections added depth but also made me wonder if that was a stylistic choice or a reflection of the protagonist’s mental state. How do others interpret the pacing in relation to her journey?

The story jumps through different moments and thoughts, which felt immersive but also disorienting. Does this mirror her mental state effectively or create distance?
