Basil

Basil's internal struggles and choices add such depth to the story. I'm curious whether Collins planned this complexity from the start or discovered it during writing.

The focus on societal expectations felt very real and relevant, even today. I'd love to hear if others felt the same about the book's commentary.

The slow unraveling of secrets created such an intense atmosphere, but I wonder if that pacing works for everyone or if it felt sluggish at times.
