I know that the whole unreliable narrator thing is big right now. This book is a perfect example of that. The author also does a great job with keeping you guessing on what happened for a long time. But needing to know those details is part of what kept me going as I continued reading to find out why exactly Hannah had been put in this institution. You know that there is something missing, I mean obviously, why else would she be put there. It's hard to figure out at first, since she tells us about how she has always been a good student, and how mature her parents have always been so proud of her for being.

There are characters that you soon wonder if they are real, or what is really happening with them. In the end, I was saddened for how her parents were with her, and hoped that Hannah would be able to figure it all out, as you could see that things might not go on to be how she could deal with the world around her. This was a good look at mental illness and definitely a good read.
