Picked up this pick when some of the description  mirrored my own fears. Took me a bit to get into the book, as it jumps back and forth through time and the main character’s memories, but found it interesting and engaging once I realized this. I found myself rooting for the main character often, and wondering what folks around her thought about her increasingly clear battle with mental health. I thought this book did a great job of illuminating what anxiety, dissociation, and suicidal ideation feel like. It’s interesting seeing the perspective of this character in a place I was once in, having similar thoughts as I once did. I enjoyed the book and enjoyed the up and downs throughout and little surprises and turns here and there.
