Loved this book! Eleonor was able to write a book about such a heavy topic in such a beautiful way. There were parts of the book I was able to relate with, with my own mental health and found it refreshing. All the different relationships, some romance, and being able to discuss the importance of mental health earned this book 5 ⭐️ from me!

DisarRay is about Ray, who suffers from anxiety and depression while grieving her mother's death and the abuse she suffered from a trusted man. Ray is already spiraling out of control when the book begins and Ray quickly tries to take her own life. The bulk of the story takes place in a psych ward where Ray is committed, and this is really the heart of the story.
The friends/family/aquaintances Ray meets while in a psych ward are painted so vividly by Ortiz that I felt like I knew them. Ray's enemies became mine, and her friends were mine too. It's a book with many emotions and deals with many issues, but I never felt like it was too much. Ortiz was exceptionally talented at writing the psych ward's villain - who I personally wanted to punch out.
Ortiz was also very hard on her main character Ray, which I appreciated. Ray already came from a lot of baggage and pain, but that didn't stop Ortiz from creating realistic loss and pain for her as life went on. Ray has a lot to carry, and I felt the weight as I read.
Even days after finishing DisarRay, it has stayed with me. Would highly recommend it.
