I could not stop reading this book. My goodness but I couldn’t wait to see what happened next. It is emotional and deals with realistic issues and subject matter. The author created some complex characters that were very realistic.
Many thanks to Lake Union Publishing and to NetGalley for providing me with a galley in exchange for my honest opinion

Good read. Interesting and entertaining story and characters. The journey the characters take and the issues they go through is thought provoking and makes you feel for them. Would recommend.

This book was not at all what I was expecting. It wasn’t a mystery or a thriller, but it was eye opening and honest. It was a real portrayal of mental illness and how it can affect an entire family. I was very invested in the story, mainly because I strongly felt for Lucy and the children. I really liked the fact that the book highlighted that Greg’s condition is unfairly stigmatized by people who do not understand it, and a better understanding of what the illness is like to live with. It gives an honest portrayal of life for the individual and the family, along with mental health maintenance and support.

I definitely need to read something a bit lighter after this emotional book!

I was very happy to have received a review copy of this book, as I probably wouldn't have bought it for myself, but then thoroughly enjoyed it. It was rather sad at times, even a bit of a tear-jerker, and believe me that is not normal for me. It was also a very interesting piece of fiction based on a problem that Greg had - don't want to say too much here! If anyone had described this book to me, I may not have chosen it, but having the story develop in front of me, I really did find it compelling.
