5.0

Officially one of my favourite books of all time! Incredibly weird, tense, complicated and introspective. Not at all what I expected it to be and I loved it all the more for it. This book goes into the fragility of the human mind and the impact of serious mental illness on the people around you. Each character was completely unlike the others, each person was loveable or despicable in their own way, flawed and strong, or weak. A book that I would definitely read again!
