Shame on me! But I absolutely LOVE your event and I thought of your event as I was reading this book. I know how passionately you feel about mental health in books (rightfully so) and I knew you would hate it as much as I did. I mean, the whole thing was just CRAZY. I swear, I don't even know why I actually kept reading it. I would have LOVED a moving portrayal of a family dealing with a grandmother's illness and a daughter who was scared of inheriting it. THAT would be a much more worthwhile story.

I get the whole being worried because of Grandma, but if no one is taking Grandma seriously, why the hell are they being so ridiculous with the kid? And why didn't anyone address the fact that the ILLEGAL STREET DRUG probably had something to do with it all!? And the spoiler... man, I am still shaking my head about that. Mental Health is not a plot device, people. GAH thank you for the warning about this one, fabulous review as always!
