The movie was already one of my all time favourites so I knew I'd love the book, and it definitely was even better than the adaptation. I loved the fact the chapters were really short because I prefer them. This was an instant 5/5 and a new favourite of mine. Some of the stories and the quotes from this book will forever be with me. Even though I don't have any diagnosis of mental illness, I felt really close to Susanna: I think that is because this is also the story of a teenage girl who feels disconnected from the world she lives in, which is something I have experienced and still experience, like many other young women.

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.
