He was written very well in this book, and I didn’t feel like he was an interpretation, but an extension, of the beloved character we all love. And I love how it is turned into a positive thing, with Claire choosing to embrace her “condition”. As someone with chronic illness, I was easily able to relate and sympathize with her, knowing the uncomfortableness of feeling like you need to hide your illness.
