I can’t quite put into words how much I enjoyed this book. An all time favorite. The entire time I was reading a movie played in my head and I just sat back and watched these characters. If you are looking for an accurate portrayal of mental health in a book; this is it. One of the things I also loved is how the main characters perspective on things especially her relationships with her family is shown to the reader when she’s younger and morphs with the story as you read along. There was no point that I wanted to put the book down. One second your heart strings are being pulled the next you are laughing, then you are angry. Such a range of emotions. I’m already looking to read the rest of Meg Masons’ works because this writing and story telling is the reason I love reading so much.
