Unbelievably boring. I didn’t find the prose that interesting nor beautiful - it just seemed at times like she was trying too hard to be profound but fell flat. The three perspectives didn’t feel cohesive, and frustratingly enough it lacked the perspective from the person supposedly suffering from mental illness - that felt problematic.
