Learned a lot about schizophrenia, it was interesting how differently it manifested among the different boys. Interleaving the life of the Gavins and the science of schizophrenia didn’t really work for me, I feel like both stories failed to fully wrap up. Glad I read it, but definitely very disturbing and sad.
