The New Friend

The way trust unravels felt so real and unsettling. I wonder what research or personal experiences influenced the author's depiction of manipulation?

The tension built up nicely but then seemed to pause before the climax. I'm curious if that was a deliberate choice to deepen the psychological depth.

Switching points of view gave a layered view of the characters' minds. I’d love to know if this was planned from the beginning or evolved during writing.
