A Danger to Herself and Others by Alyssa Sheinmel

4.0

I recommend to those who enjoyed We Were Liars. It’s a very new storyline that doesn’t feel recycled, as many YA novels do. I did hope for a little bit of a happier ending, because it felt unsatisfying. I thought it was a very good glimpse into a girl’s mental health struggles. The biggest issue I had with this book was how it villainized inpatient treatment. Although I have never been through inpatient treatment, the depiction of it in this novel felt unrealistic and I do understand that the author was trying to portray how Hannah felt, that can leave a bad impression to someone who may have to go through inpatient.
