Private prerelease review

You are not the car.
You are the driver.

You are holding something I have not given the world yet. A small first circle of copies exists right now, and one of them is in your hands. That is not an accident. You are on a very short list of people whose perspective I trust, whose honesty I count on, and whose presence in my life shaped the pages you are about to read. Whether you knew it or not.

Read it for you. Not as a favor to me. Then tell me the truth. What hit home. What fell flat. What confused you. What you would tell a friend about it. The unpolished truth is the whole point of this circle.
