Everything Here Is Beautiful by Mira T. Lee
4.0
This was our September book club pick! Sisters Miranda and Lucia Bok are complete opposites. While Miranda is responsible, Lucia is unpredictable. But when it becomes apparent that Lucia is suffering from mental illness, Miranda is determined to protect and seek help for her.
I found this book incredibly thought provoking. My preconceived ideas of mental illness were drastically different than what was described in this novel and it helped me open my eyes.
The book is told in alternating points of view with Lucia, Miranda, and other supporting characters. At times I struggled with this (mainly the formatting), but I later appreciated how it helped show the reader both the internal struggles that Lucia was facing as well as the outside experience from family and friends.
