The 1960s aesthetic, including the attire, living room decor, and lighting choices, immerses the reader in the era while also symbolizing the constraints of societal roles at the time. Subtle details, like the askew family photo and faint silhouette, highlight the themes of devotion and a concealed identity without being explicit. The typography choices are vintage but legible, ensuring the design remains grounded in the time period while maintaining modern readability. The matte finish on the book’s surface adds a velvety feel, drawing readers into the story's emotionally charged tone while the embossed title and spot UV elements add a touch of sophistication, connecting with the layered and complex themes of the narrative.
