This book is one of the most powerful reflections of treatment of mental health in our society. Throughout you can’t help but feel the injustice of the way the characters are treated, I felt angry, sad and deeply moved by their experiences and I don’t think any book I’ve read recently has made me reflect me on the foundations of society and the prejudices in the way we treat people as much as this book did. This is fantastic, powerful and important and everyone should read this.
