Torment

The dual viewpoints added layers to their complex emotions, but I wonder if that was always the plan or evolved during writing. Did it help in conveying their inner struggles?

Their chemistry was intense, but the themes of abuse and redemption made me question how much sympathy is warranted. How do others reconcile this in their reading experience?

The pacing and reveals felt so intentional, especially the moments of vulnerability. I'm curious if the author mapped out the emotional journey beforehand or discovered it as they wrote.
