A review by star_long27
The Silver Linings Playbook by Matthew Quick

dark emotional funny hopeful inspiring sad
  • Strong character development? Yes
  • Loveable characters? It's complicated

4.5

The main character has bipolar and it’s suggested his love interest struggles mentally. I’m just biased throughout reading the whole book that he should have focused on his mental health rather than dating her. But yes, it’s a great read- if you struggle with mental health, you’ll relate with the ups and downs, seeing his POV and how he thinks. (I don’t want to say they are romanticizing mental illness, I saw it more as he found a friend during his hard times)
