The writing in this book is abrasive, but that's what makes it so honest. It's not a perfect book but it's a poignant representation of mental illness and the different ways it manifests. This book doesn't bullshit you with romanticism or a perfect ending, it is very realistic about pain and closure.

Very interesting. The main character doesn't talk, which makes the delivery very interesting. Good book, nothing groundbreaking but a worthwhile read
