This novel strikes a delicate balance between heartbreak and hope, leaving an indelible mark on the reader. Eliot’s inner struggles—her thoughts spiraling endlessly and worries that consume her—create an emotional ache. Her raw and desperate confessions reveal a mind that isn’t always a safe haven.

Yet, amidst this darkness, there’s light. Eliot’s unconventional, meddling family—dysfunctional yet fiercely loyal—provides a counterbalance. And then there’s Manny, her best friend who knows her soul’s every nook and cranny.

How to Hide in Plain Sight not only delves into the complexities of living with a mental health condition but also celebrates unbreakable family bonds and the enduring power of true love.
