Emily Austin's writing really scratches an itch in my brain; she writes women with mental illness really well (at least, her characters are so similar to how my brain works!!). I thought this one ended quite abruptly but really enjoyed it nonetheless - the cast of characters feel really well rounded and individual.

I really related to some things in the main character’s experience (intrusive thoughts/negative self-image) and haven’t seen them quite like that in a book before. So I was really grateful for that representation. I found some of the other characters quite unique too. The reading experience was otherwise a bit medium for me but I would like to read more from this author.
