I borrowed this from another patient in the adolescent mental health unit I was in at the time. Yeah yeah, a self harmer reading books about self harm. I'd run out of other things to read. Anyway, from the POV of a teenager living in a psych facility because of many of the same issues the main character in the book has, this was hilariously bad. Maybe it was the disconnect between US and UK facilities, or maybe the writer had zero idea of how such facilities even operate, but man... (might be a bit triggering, under spoilers)

Spoiler

attention and concern from a favourite nurse because you chicken scratched your wrist using a sofa spring is not how it goes

.
I'm sure anyone who has no experience with actual hospitalisation-level self harm issues will think this book is readable if not somewhat narm-ful. I wouldn't recommend to anyone who actually has mental health issues. Triggering and unrealistic.
