I thought it was a really good exploration into the ways trauma can completely derail your life, make you act in senseless ways, and leave you stuck in this hole that seems impossible to climb out of. We watch Theo go deeper and deeper down the rabbit hole with each traumatic event until he’s a completely different person, and on a path he most likely would’ve never gone done if him and his mother hadn’t decided to take a quick detour into the museum.

It shows how one split second decision can define your entire life, how it can mold you into a totally different person.

The lingering invisible damage of psychic trauma.

I agree, the book does delve that cave.
