Unexpectedly, Milo by Matthew Dicks
4.0
I picked up this book to add to my current reading theme of "Books About Mental Illness"
And I enjoyed it! I though that the convoluted plot & the myriad of characters were maybe a little much at times, but I have to applaud the authors attempt to weave every detail in and come to a satisfying conclusion. I did want to know more about Christine's problems and more about Milo's parents-- he didn't become the way he was in a vacuum -- and there were plenty of places the author did more telling than showing, but overall, I found this book fun and enlightening. The OCD issues were also handled in a unique way, I thought. Yes! A nice addition to my mental health collection!
