Mosquitoland by David Arnold
5.0
This is the book I needed in my life.
Mary Iris Malone is very much Not Okay. Her whole life is changing, and she decides to track her mum down after the letters suddenly stop.
I can't describe this, and I don't know exactly why, but this book was just what I needed right now. I'm in a period of very much Not Being Okay, and I needed a friend. Mim was that friend. Reading the letters spread throughout the book, it felt like she was talking to me. As if she was real.
I wish I could explain WHY I loved this book, but I just do. That's simply it. There were definitely aspects of it that I didn't love, and I get why other people might not like it, but boi. I'm so grateful to have this book. It reminded me why I continue going to therapy, and I really needed that.
I can already tell this is going to be a book I'm going to reread many times.
Trigger warnings: suicide, depression, psychosis
