this reminded me of john green’s turtles all the way down (which i gave a full 5 stars). i loved being able to read about a character’s journey with a diagnosis that’s underrepresented in books. the characters are complex yet supportive and loving and the writing has you feeling delusions/hallucinations firsthand. plus a dash of romance doesn’t hurt, especially since it doesn’t take away or derail the main focus of the story.
