As someone who has struggled with mental health and was almost given a borderline personality disorder( I ended up getting a rare-ish diagnosis that is very similar and treated in similar ways) , this book spoke to me in a way that felt comforting. Besides the story, the main thing that stood out was how at the same time chaos was ensuing I felt heard. I had an interesting upbringing, to say the least, having a story that captivated my brain for a minute and feeling a warm calm sense was appreciated. Do take this with a grain of salt, I may be blinded by comfort to fully rate this book accurately, but I do feel as though the story was well-constructed.
