Told from multiple, overlapping, and diverging perspectives, I truly have never read anything like this. Definitely a boom that makes you want to talk to others about it (and I will).
Heads up, not a light story. It was so interesting that the plot isn't linear nor is it the main focus of the book. You don't really have a major antagonist. I also felt that I had to abandon a lot of my comparisons to mental illness (as portrayed in Western media in particular) as a concept as I read.
