Excellent read until the very very end! It really explored many different views with mental health.

 It explains gaslighting of those with mental illness very well. I think some aspects of Identifying with the enemy as well. I loved the big reveal and shocking twist. But then… it keep going? It kind of loses steam by doing that and it brought it down a star for me because there was no need to then return again to Dustin Miller and things before the big reveal? Anyways, definitely worth a read.
