A review by alexrashelle
Adelaide by Genevieve Wheeler
4.0
Adelaide so wonderfully embodied living with bipolar depression, though it might not have been the entire purpose.
I found myself relating quite often to Adelaide. How often I had worn myself thin to people please, to impress, to push when I needed do just stop. I related to her anxieties and her habit of shoving her feelings down. I related to each of the relationships she held as I felt like I held similar ones myself. It was oddly refreshing to see my mental illness written about and shown that there is indeed light at the end of dark tunnels.
I enjoyed that this novel presented a few different perspectives, though I wish they had been separated a bit better (i.e in chapter titles). I think the author did a wonderful job wrapping up each of the story lines in a way that made sense and wasn’t rushed.
Highly recommend this book and I’m so glad I got to view it prior to its publish date!
