In a few sentences, how would you describe your experience reading this book?

The Pull is meant to stand alone, but it is the third book in the series. If you came in cold, did it work? If you read the earlier books, did Frank and the household still feel like the people you knew?

This book is told by Ann, not Frank. She is the daughter who came home and stayed for the year. Did her voice feel right? Did the shift from Frank-as-narrator to Ann-as-narrator land — or did you miss him as the one telling it?

Frank is older, and the body has begun to narrow. He is still himself — mostly. Did he feel like the same man you knew from the earlier books? Did the diminishment ring true without slipping into sentiment?

The book opens with Frank finding the cat gone in the morning. Did that opening work as the way into the year? Did it set the right weight without overdoing it?

Jean is still there at the end of the same keyboard she has been at for years — but Frank's reach for her has changed. Did her presence in this final book feel earned? Did the sessions still belong, or did they sit differently than in the earlier books?

Ann calls this a year she spent in the kitchen. Marcus comes with her from Toronto. Marjorie is across the lawn, Helen across the road. Did that household — the people coming through the back door — carry the year? Did the marriage with Marcus feel real given the changes in Ann's life?

The book moves through The Fall and the Knowing, The Decision, The Year Home, and The End. Did that arc work for you? Did one part pull ahead of the others, or did any part feel like it overstayed?

Which scene or moment stayed with you most? What made it work?

Was there a section where your attention drifted, or something that felt unnecessary? Be honest — this is the most useful feedback.

The book ends Frank's story — the gathering, the three words, the note from Ann, the epilogue. Did the ending land? Did it end at the right moment, in the right way, given this is the close of the trilogy?

The book closes with a short prompt addressed to readers who are caring for someone whose body is narrowing. Did that coda belong? Did it feel like the right place to set it down — or would you cut it, move it, or expand it?

How was the pace? Rate from 1 (too slow) to 5 (just right) to 10 (too fast).

If a friend asked "should I read this?" — what would you say?

Would you be willing to provide a short quote we could use on the book's website or back cover? One or two sentences. No pressure at all.

Would you like your name included in a thank-you page in the published book?

Typos you caught, lines that made you laugh or cry, things you'd change, things you wouldn't touch — all welcome.
