This book very skilfully explores the topic of mental health and how mental health conditions affect not only the person diagnosed but those around them too.
There are moments of incredible sadness, humour and hope.
Whilst some might not find Martha likeable she was certainty relatable and I personally was always rooting for her and Patrick.
A difficult read due to the topics covered but I still struggled to put it down and would actively recommend it to others.
