This book was great! I really appreciated the perspective it provided on mental illness, especially Caden’s, since it can be so easy to fear and ostracize those who are different from us, even if they’re just trying to survive. 

I also enjoyed the two storylines and how

as they converged,

there was a blend of reality and imagination (that might not be the best word choice - sorry).
