This book is so good! I think it expanded on and added to the conversation that The Yellow Wallpaper, the short story it was inspired by, started.

There are a handful of doctor visits that Violet goes to where the medical professionals think she is faking it or that her mental health is physically manifesting itself into her symptoms. There is also a chapter that takes place in the ER where Violet has her blood drawn but it is not graphic.brulereads's review against another edition

A middle grade retelling of The Yellow Wallpaper!? Yes, thank you! I appreciated this spin on illness, mental and physical (enjoyed is not the correct word bc it was sad). The cover is what hooked me to read this yet the story was great too.
