This book may be the most impactful view on mental illness I have ever read. The lives and minds of the people she included spoke to the part of me that wonders if I'm the only one that feels the way I do. It was validating to see others perspectives and experiences.

This is a book about the impacts of mental illness on four very real people. If you don't want to read about the traumas that come with it, then this is not the book for you.adcamp04's review
