Enjoyed this book thoroughly! Really felt the mind of the narrator and followed along her train of thought in a way that I can’t in others.

A beautifully writen tragic story about mental health and sexism. Learning that it was written about the author's own experience made it more powerful. 

I think I was expecting something more intense/ dramatic to happen at the end.

This book is incredible for the impact it plays on women’s health and function as full individuals. As a woman reading it I was unsettled and frustrated throughout the entire piece.
