‘Mental illness. To most it is just a phrase, an attention-seeking disease which sounds more like a marginally-developed theory than an issue. And that’s what I thought too. But I was wrong.’
Iris Martins always dreamed of having the perfect boyfriend, someone who could take care of her when she was feeling down, someone to hold at night. So when American Jake Ringland asked her on her first date, she was ecstatic. But as weeks turned to months, she began learning of Jake’s true background and the character he had been hiding his whole life. And as her family life begins to take a turn for the worst, Iris realises that the events she is about to face will change her for the rest of her life.
