This book was confusing. There were moments I liked but overall, I was really confused. I was honestly expecting Nurse Rachett to be more “evil” because that’s what she’s known for but I didn’t quite see it. She just seemed like she wanted to be in charge and take control of her ward of mentally ill people. A lot of the plot, especially Chief Bromely’s memories and rambling we’re especially confusing. Overall, not a terrible book but I’m still really confused.
