Last Seen Leaving

The way the characters' relationships blurred the lines between trust and betrayal kept me on edge. I wonder if others felt the same sense of paranoia?

The isolated setting added so much to the suspense, but I'm curious whether the author intentionally used the town as a character or if it evolved naturally during writing.

The culmination of the characters' secrets and grief hit hard. Did the ending resonate with others in the same way, or was it just me feeling so deeply connected?
