This one is quite strange, it is about a woman who is going through a difficult mental health episode and is taken to an institution to recover.
I don't have much to say about it, some of the writing was interesting but it never gave me anything impressive or exciting in any way.
Overall I'm very underwhelmed by it so that's all I can say.
