This book was so disappointing. I liked the premise,  but couldn’t get past the very unrealistic portrayal of a mental institution and treatment. Treating physicians cannot be your health care proxy, that’s totally unethical and yet the whole plot falls apart if you take out that impossible situation. The descriptions of coffee were good, that’s about it, and those appear to have been provided by the author’s friends (see Acknowledgements).
