Thriller aspects were great. Finished this book in two sittings with the way it kept me on the edge of my seat - however, the lousy (arguably harmful) depictions of mental health and even addicts were really off putting. This is the first book I’ve read by this author as she’s been highly recommended to me by many friends. I do hope to find the rest of her works don’t have the same problem. Mental health stigma is still a very real problem, and fictional portrayals contribute to that stigma so much more than we think.
