The Girl in the Castle by James Patterson, Emily Raymond
1.0
dark fast-paced

This book honestly disgusted me in multiple ways. I am afraid of any young people who will come away from this book thinking that this is the correct way to help people with severe mental illness. And I'm not sure why an intern at a psych hospital falling in love with a patient under his care is anything less than creepy.

The only redeeming factor is that this book is fast paced and keeps you hooked. Means it was out of my life faster.

Funny how I've read two books this year from authors who have previously worked in psych hospitals, and both of them had the least realistic portrayals of mental illness I've ever read.
