Oh, wow. I started reading this and pretty immediately knew it was going to be a tough one; well-written, but really tough content to get through. And then the last chapter had me gasp out loud and pretty much wrecked me. So sad. Really good! But really sad.
The story does a pretty amazing job of portraying the difficulty of living with someone with a mental illness. It treats it with tenderness, but also lays bare how brutal it can be. Again- really good, but really difficult. Definite CW for mental illness and all that accompanies it.

Pretty heavy read. Really captures the not just the mental illness of the boy's mother, but also how it affects him and the rest of the family. Totally unsurprised by the ending.
