This book took a perfect turn from edge of your seat thriller, to somber reflection on mental illness. I believe that Hannah is the perfect character because she is imperfect, and therefore human. It was so beautifully tragic.

Was going to be a two-star rating until the ending, which I hated enough to drop it down a full star. Good writing and I was engaged enough to see where it was going, but the mental health rep felt...not great. Granted, I don't have psychosis, but it felt icky to me, personally.

I would like to thank Edelweiss and Sourcebooks Fire for a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
4.5-49. stars.
This book was amazing! I am obviously feeling stingy this year as really this should be a 5 star but for some reason I can't click that last star.
I really loved this story. Hannah was for the most part a very relatable character. She had me guessing from the beginning what was happening and eventually what was wrong with her.
I felt so bad for Hannah. Her parents are obviously not good parents. Probably a lot of people would see them as good parents because they took care of her financially but obviously they lacked in a lot of other areas. :(
I wasn't keen on the doctor at first. 'Lightfoot'. She seemed uninterested and not caring. But she grew on me.

I actually didn't guess the hallucinations until the doctor told Hannah. Really good story writing.I felt so bad for Hannah. Her parents are obviously not good parents.

I felt really bad for the girl who was in the coma. I can't believe that Hannah might have caused that!ya_el31's review

Agnes Smith’s life will never be the same. Neither will mine
I read this book in a couple hours. If you want to read a book with an unreliable narrator, this is the perfect book for that.I truly believed (just like Hannah) that Lucy was real. Seriously if you want to read a book that's not like other book read this one!!

A great first person narrative perspective where you don't know how trustworthy the narrator actual is. I enjoyed how the story continued after the resolution to the case and the similarities drawn between both characters. Very well written and a fast read. Wish there was more of a twist but the story was true to life.
