What a stunning book. I have never read such a detailed account of what experiencing psychosis is like. I can’t imagine being in her position and the immense fear and paranoia was palpable in her writing. The information she provides on postpartum depression and psychosis is essential for sympathizing with and supporting mothers. 

I appreciated what she was going for with the non-linear structure, but I think the sections in the psych ward could have been more impactful if I had known about the psychosis that led up to it. Sometimes they felt a little tedious because I wanted so badly to know what led to her ending up there.
