Stolen Darlings

Shifting the viewpoint adds layers to the suspense, but I wonder if it was planned from the start or developed during writing. How did this approach influence the story's tension?

The story builds tension, but some sections felt a bit slow for me. Was that an intentional choice to deepen character development or a pacing challenge?

The emotional moments felt raw and real, which made the suspense even more intense. I'm curious how the author navigated this balance during writing.
