5.0

I couldn't put this book down when I started. It's a short read and I completely understand why it's so beloved. I read it as a friend sharing their experiences with me so the time line jumps didnt bother me at all. I felt the author was very good at making me feel the way their environment felt withouth needing to go into too much detail and I quite liked the shorter chapter style. While being able to balance being funny and recognizing that these girls where commited for a reason. The last few chapters add an important perspective of social bias of diagnosis and believability of those of us who struggle with mental health. The pages with her medical notes added a lot as well.
