It's boring? The whole book basically takes place in the hospital where she's convinced she is "normal" and we need to figure out if she's reliable or not. I think my issue is the author creating a book about mental illness and institutionalization and then stating at the end that it is not meant to educate people about either subject and the stuff that happens in the book wouldn't really happen. So what was the point? About half the book seemed to just be fluff that is not really relevant
Graphic: Eating disorder and Forced institutionalization
Moderate: Self harm
