[Angela Barnett · Rating 5 out of 5]

Great book!

Thoroughly enjoyed the storyline and all the characters, even the ones I didn't like. Touched on mental illness in a very though provoking way.

I found this book hard to read. Many times I didn’t understand who was speaking. The format on my Kindle was all over the place.
