Tenderness

Cormier's story delves into the blurred lines between good and evil, making me wonder what sparked his focus on these themes.

The depiction felt raw and realistic, but it also made me question whether the narrative leans too heavily into discomfort or if that was the point.

The small-town atmosphere added a layer of claustrophobia and moral complexity. I'm curious if the setting was chosen to reflect broader societal issues.
