I can’t remember how long ago or even how this crossed my path, but I could tell from the description it felt very familiar. Having read it, it definitely lived up to that expectation. I mean, there was no major family secret drama in my childhood, just the concept of a kid having mental health issues but not knowing what it was, divorced parents, big imagination, etc. Honestly the mental health bit felt a bit too real sometimes. I wish I had this as a kid! It still felt satisfying to read as an adult from this perspective.
