The book's structure is quite unconventional—did the format deepen the sense of intimacy or make it harder to follow? I'm curious how much that was a deliberate artistic choice.

The raw honesty was powerful but also uncomfortable at times. Did it make others reflect on how mental illness is communicated within families?

Balancing the intimate correspondence with the larger story created a layered experience. I wonder if that was planned from the start or evolved during writing.
