Every Last Word

The way the main character's thoughts are expressed through poetry felt so authentic. I'm curious what inspired that creative choice and how it shaped the story.

The depiction of OCD and anxiety felt very real, but also hopeful. Did the author intend to offer a sense of hope to readers facing similar issues?

The book handles tough topics but also has uplifting moments. I wonder how the author decided on that tone mix to keep readers engaged without feeling overwhelmed.
