Such an eye opening plot that made me realise how some people can really suffer in their lives at a point the don’t even have a place to live when none of their family members wills to help them . My heart is hurting with them . And let’s don’t wonder how people become homeless

It was a roller coaster. I’m sad to say that some characters I liked did seem to end up as kinda the bad guys and I was really hoping they wouldn’t. When I first picked up this book I thought this would be a sad book all the way through but it has proved me wrong. Despite the main theme being about mental illness it’s still joyful at times and it helped lighten the mood(?). I really enjoyed it and it was interesting to read too. Also I made a playlist of all existing songs that they mention. So here you go:

Star -Belly
Nervous breakdown - Black Flag
Is it really so strange? - the smiths
Baby, let me follow you down - Bob Dylan 
The whole Astral Weeks album by Van Morrison
T.B. Sheets - Van Morrison
The whole Nashville Skyline album by Bob Dylan 
You’re the one that I want - Grease
Tangled up in blue - Bob Dylan 
Needle in the hay - Elliott Smith
Christmas in prison - John Prine

I had to give this book five stars. Kathleen Glasgow’s writing perfectly created a picture in my head of everything- the hospital, true grit, charlie’s room. This book left me feeling quite empty.

For people who have someone close to them who is in a dark place. It’s for them to read and get to understand more about mental illness. 
I do not recommend this to mentally ill people. Too brutal and triggering.
