A different concept than most of my reads that kept me intrigued because I never really knew where the story was heading. I missed some things in the beginning that made SO much sense once I got to the end, but it was fun to try to unravel what was truly happening. While there’s a general plot point, the main story follows the MC and her journey through her work and how it is influenced by the company she keeps and the experiences shared with them. What kept me most interested is how the narrators voice altered in language and style as the company and experiences changed as well. 

Spoiler If the main story is about the author describing her experience with schizophrenia, then it leaves a bad taste in my mouth because while it doesn’t overtly have discriminatory language, it does portray people with schizophrenia as having violent tendencies and being unpredictable which contributes harmfully to the stigma surrounding mental illnesses
