This was such a beautiful little book. I truly appreciated how the author wrote about mental illness/psychosis in a very kind and understanding way, emphasising that the mental illness does not define a person and their personality. It was heartbreaking to see the character go through what happened in this book but she did it with so much grace - I just loved it!
