I bought this book to read as part of my research for a college project. I wanted to learn more about mental health from the perspective of someone who has been in a psychiatric hospital.
I was not disappointed by this book. I initially found it a bit scatty and all over the place, and then as the main character started to get better and to be a lot more sure of herself it became clearer. I loved this effect, it encompasses mental illness in a nutshell. A person suffering with depression, suicidal thoughts, personality disorders... they aren't in a straightforward state of mind and so neither is their thought process.
This was very clever, and I am happy to have read this book.
