My head hurts. The format was interesting but irritating - the "black box" gave the impression that she was speaking so as to be recorded, but the italicised script read like an inner monologue, which ended up being rather confusing. It was extremely heavy reading - I found it difficult to put down but felt sick to the stomach throughout. I'm just thoroughly saddened by such an unfair and harsh story, which is unfortunately probably spiked with truth from many a mother suffering post-natal depression. It was heartbreakingly honest but the format sort of ruined it for me in terms of Ana. I felt it was perhaps approached in the wrong way.

Bizarre book! Very repetitive and not very enjoyable at all.

Hmmm, this was a bit of a strange book. I read the whole book but wouldn't say that it was a book I would choose to read.
