I'm wrecked. The writing in this book was perfect. I laughed, I cried. If I had read it on the Kindle there would be highlights galore.
Less that 200 pages, I was drawn immediately in. A scholarly setting, which I always enjoy despite the fact that I am not scholarly and never been in that setting, often grabs me right away. The topic of mental illness always fascinates, and the story is about reading and writing and love.
This book had the potential to be pretentious and it wasn't. The characters were magnificent. I don't know how you do that in 174 pages.
5/5 (2018 favorite)
