Sorrow & Bliss by Meg Mason
5.0

Such a visceral portrayal of mental health. I couldn’t put this down and it has me reflecting so deeply on my relationships with those I love and my perceptions of mental illness. Can’t recommend enough!!!

I’ve heard criticism that Martha is so unlikeable that the novel is hard to read and that made me apprehensive, but she never did or thought anything I didn’t understand. She’s deeply flawed like everyone else is. SO GOOD
