I first started this book summer of 2007 but ended up just putting it down. I restarted this book May of 2008 almost one year after I started it and only made it half way through the book before deciding I had to put it down and give up.
I wanted this book to be good but it just didn't suck me in.

What a brilliant piece of mind this book is. Monica Dickens said: "you don't read this shattering book; you live it", and those are the truest words and the only way to describe this book. It's a must-read!

i am kind of embarrassed by how long it took me to finish this book, but i really did consider it an admirably honest piece of writing that i have never encountered in this way before. such a deep and emotionally fueled glance into the depths of mental illness, the pains it inflicts on the mind, the prevailing humanity behind everything society tends to stigmatize. despite some lengthy moments, truly one of a kind!

If like Girl, interrupted also had stuff about what happens after you get out, into the “real world” again. Dark and relatable, would recommend.
