The Silver Linings Playbook by Matthew Quick

5.0

I saw the movie first and I liked how they adapted it from this. But it was nice seeing more into Pat's head and what he was going through and what he was thinking. It was a great look on mental illnesses and how they affect people and what it's like in someone's mind when they're struggling with themselves. His silver linings mentality is something that I've been trying to live with lately and it's nice to see that it's not a permanent state, but you have to keep pushing forward and things work out. Maybe not always how you want them to, or how you expect them to, but they would out for the better and you end up where you're supposed to be if you believe.
