This book was incredibly well written and thought provoking. In classic Lisa Genova style, the book was well researched and painted a detailed picture of what it is like to live with bipolar disorder. Maddy is a compelling character and it was very interesting to see her navigate her diagnosis and treatment journey. Maddy also had great character growth throughout the book. This book was immersive and very emotional. It was, at times, uncomfortable to read because it was such a realistic depiction of depression and mania, but this was a necessary discomfort and needed to help to destigmatize bipolar disorder and mental health as a whole. I thought the supporting characters were great as well, particularly Maddy's mom. Overall a wonderful, important read and one I will be recommending to all of my patrons when it is released.
