TW: metal health and illness, suicidal ideations, alcoholism.
Martha is struggling. She knows something is wrong with her, a panel of doctors after doctors, pills after pills brings her nowhere. She lives her life, things happen to her and around her but the thoughts don’t ease up. A concept too many of us are sadly familiar with.
By the time that one doctor finally provides the help she found herself at the steps of her burned down life...
This book is described as Sally Rooney’s style meets Eleanor is Completely Fine, two things that make my heart happy and I think this is a wonderful description 🥺
I’m all up in my feels right now hahah
Right now I would love to read this book from Patrick’s perspective. I think that would be incredible.
