Not overrated at all! I haven't read Looking for Alaska, so I actually didn't even make that connection - but I do remember seeing previews for the movies, so I'm actually making more of a connection now as to why you've gone this route. It actually makes a lot of sense and it's really awesome to experiment with new ideas!

I haven't got a clue who Tom might be talking to (except maybe a therapist, haha!), but I can't wait to find out. You're right about the time stamps working well for this idea; I really can't wait to see where you go with it!

Well, you're doing a spot-on job with it. It's funny how death can do that to a person, you know? Instead of thinking about the good times and reflecting back on it fondly, it's too easy to be consumed by the could-haves and should-haves. I trust this takes place soon after whatever is going to happen to Wade? That's typically when the disassociation hits the hardest - or, so I've found. So, you're doing a really good job of capturing that confusion!

Oh, I'm always moved by your work into saying something. You write such a large assortment of feelings into your work and you always do them with such human quality that it's inspiring to read your works. Keep doing what you're doing - you do an awesome job at it!
