It was also one of the better and more believable works centering mental illness I've read in a while; the line about the character feeling like a mosaic, that if you were far enough away she still looked like a person, is going to stick with me for a while.
BUT
As other reviews have said, the intention seemed to be for the ending to be left open and ambiguous but instead it felt more like the author took me on a long car trip to a cool sightseeing destination, pointing out interesting scenery as we went, and then 20 minutes before we were supposed to arrive, she took a dirt road as a 'shortcut', dropped me in front of an abandoned gas station, and went 'isn't this cool? anyway, have fun getting home!' and drove off. It left me feeling frustrated and abruptly abandoned, like I was missing out on something I'd been promised and was looking forward to and now instead I was going to have to figure out my own way home.
