This novel starts with an intriguing premise about a first American born child of immigrants, diagnosed with bipolar disorder. The complications that come with the cultural differences in healthcare, approaches to mental health, and generational differences was rife with thought provoking drama. Though I don’t think the author really ran with any of the options at her disposal. I’m not sure what the rising action and culmination of the story was, and overall felt stilted. It had many of the same themes of first born American novels, but it didn’t really differentiate itself in ways that I think it could have.
