I picked this book up yesterday for the sole reason that one of the characters had my name (a real rarity) but I did not put the book down until I finished it. At points I wasn't even sure if this book was fiction or non-fiction. It read like a work of Adam Kay's, balancing case study style patients with the art of story telling. It handled mental health and the mental health care system with such accuracy and delicacy and honesty. If I could give the authors of this book a hug for how well they portrayed something that books get wrong so often, I really would. I could not reccomend this book more. This book was a true delight.
