1.0

I should have known that this would be ableist garbage, but I read it anyway. I'm increasingly convinced no thriller authors are able to write about mental illness accurately or sensitively, even ones with medical backgrounds (although in my experience, most doctors are shitty about mental illness anyway). Exhausting. Gross. Boring. I can't believe this was published in 2023.
