Whisper to Me
by Nick Lake
4.5 stars
I have two things to say about this book:
A) It is the most brilliant portrayal of mental illness and its effect on relationships, particularly familial and romantic ones, that I have ever read. It gutted me in a beautiful way and I think it will stay with me for a long time.
B) It is way too long for a contemporary (I mean, 550+ pages is a lot)… but that’s my only complaint.
This was such a beautifully thought-provoking and insightful book about mental illness. Move over [a:Jennifer Niven|45592|Jennifer Niven|https://d2arxad8u2l0g7.cloudfront.net/authors/1332194516p2/45592.jpg] and [a:John Green|1406384|John Green|https://d2arxad8u2l0g7.cloudfront.net/authors/1353452301p2/1406384.jpg]. This is how it should be done! Go do yourself a favour right now and give this book a go. It has an amazing protagonist and the themes are handled sensitively and with an open rawness that you’ll want to applaud. It has my highest recommendation.
