The Best Minds: A Story of Friendship, Madness, and the Tragedy of Good Intentions by Jonathan Rosen

4.0

I learned a lot from this book. This was a long read for me (500+ pages!), some of the more technical parts dragged for me but I'm so glad I finished it (and in way less time than I thought it would take me!).

I haven't given 5 stars because, despite the length of the book, I wanted to know more about Caroline (Carrie) and her life before and with Michael. The author acknowledges this limitation though and, despite never meeting her, does a good job giving us a glimpse at the person she was- so much so that I'm sad I dont know more about her. Even when you search her name online Michael is what comes up.

Overall, I'm glad I read this.
