challenging dark emotional medium-paced

4.5

For a long time this remained an interesting account of a stay in a psychiatric hospital. That was interesting and I liked it, but I didn’t love it. 

What makes me love it is the later part of the book. Reflections on the diagnosis and life our main character lives make sure the book stays with us. It is a thought provoking read.
