What others said:
"It was refreshing to come across a book that not only provides insight on mental illness but also does so in a realistic way. I appreciated the fact that you not only focused on what it is like to have a mental illness, but also how mental illness can have a ripple effect on friends and family; and how the journey isn't always one of smooth sailing." - @CreativeBibliophile
"Wow, this was written so exceptionally well. All of my senses were completely engaged and I love how realistic your writing is." - GhostsInsideOfMyBed
"Never have [I] felt so connected to a character, honestly. His struggles feel so real, it's astonishing." - @BeZorro
