5.0

What an absolutely beautiful novel. I had a lot of hopes and this book met every single one of them. Schizophrenia is a very underrepresented mental illness in media and often times, is portrayed as very violent and dangerous, when in fact it's rarely that and it's so great to see it portrayed positively.

This is a book that I would easily recommend to someone who was wanting to read fiction featuring a character with schizophrenia. The author does such a great telling on this mental illness, and I think the drawings inside the book really aided in this storytelling.
