Kay (kay23) | 60 comments In my late teens, I read a book set in an asylum. It spoke about force feeding and ECT and convincing the mc she was sick when she wasn't

Thanks for updating the header, Kay.

Who put the girl in the asylum? Where is her home? Is her family rich?

Kay (kay23) | 60 comments Those details I do not remember. Though i think it was a psychiatrist who had her institutionalized. Oh and I remember it spoke about her dad in the middle of the book. It also detailed her dreams around that part of the book too.
