Two Girls Staring at the Ceiling

The verse form feels so intimate and raw—I'm curious if that was a deliberate choice to deepen the reader's connection or a natural fit for the story.

It made me think about how often characters with disabilities are simplified or stereotyped. This book felt different—did that resonate with others?

The verse added a lyrical quality that really brought out the characters’ inner worlds. I wonder what led to choosing this format over a traditional novel.
