I had to give this book five stars. Kathleen Glasgow’s writing perfectly created a picture in my head of everything- the hospital, true grit, charlie’s room. This book left me feeling quite empty.

God this book was too relatable. I feel so much for Charlie. I want to sympathize with her but sometimes it’s too much. I want to sympathize with Riley but he’s in the wrong. I’m glad she got the ending she deserved.

For people who have someone close to them who is in a dark place. It’s for them to read and get to understand more about mental illness. 
I do not recommend this to mentally ill people. Too brutal and triggering.
