This was an interesting concept. I dive into mental illness, explaining it through the idea of a journey out into the ocean. It was very well done. It’s scattered and time is not linear which is hard for me in books but it makes sense when explaining mental illness. Not my favorite of Neal’s books, but it you know someone suffering from a mental illness, I definitely recommend reading it to learn more about those you love.
