this was entirely frustrating and therapeutic. i think every time i read a good book a part of me heals. i love when a book is full of crazy characters. the way each of them were described made me like all of them. there were many times in this book were people were yelling at martha of basically being like “STAND UP!!!!” and i felt so called out it made me want to cry. at first i was kinda disappointed maybe a little offended that her diagnosis wasn’t explicitly named but i grew to appreciate it. i love this book so much. it made me feel so seen even if my episodes are not as extreme and i’m only 19 with no life experience. i love this book so much.
