Liked this just as much in the reread. It continues to be extremely refreshing to have a blunt book about mental illness. As noted at the end, about one in every three households include a family member who endured mental illness. Books like these, the ones that normalize the experience and prove that there is hope while  sharing relatable situations, are really important.

The entire presentation is extremely creative as well. I really appreciate this book.
