I really like the portrayal of mental health in Chapter 12 with Teddy and Cawley. Also the dream sequence felt very realistic in how disjointed and seemingly nonsensical (but somewhat telling) it is. Very fun to read

Ch. 8: “Laugh,” she said to Chuck. “It’s good for the soul. Laugh.”
I like the conflict between Teddy and Dolores in the past. More compelling than everything being perfect and ideal all the time

Teddy super mentally unstable… kind of had a feeling, but the extent of his grief certainly isn’t normal. The line earlier about them needing to be checked in as a joke seems like a sort of foreshadowing in hindsight. Enjoying the tone and mystery so far, the dialogue being very quick and lacking dialogue tags makes it pretty snippy. ‘50s atmosphere well-done with narration and dialogue content itself.

Ch 3… a little slow of a start but tone seems fitting for '50s setting thus far? Not very knowledgeable about mental health practices during the time so I'm interested in that aspect, even if not entirely accurate for fiction's sake
