This Is Not Over

The narrator's perspective made the suspense so intense, but I wondered how much was planned versus evolved during writing. Did the author intend to keep readers constantly guessing?

The psychological depth added so much tension, but I kept wondering whether the characters' perceptions were meant to be completely reliable. How did the author balance empathy with suspicion?

This approach added layers to the mystery and kept me hooked, but I’m curious whether this was a structural decision from the start or something that developed during the writing process.
