This book is gorgeous to look at, but unfortunately the inside was just not for me!

I first read a sampler of this book and thoroughly enjoyed it, I found the first few chapters to be intriguing and interesting and rated the first part five stars... Unfortunately somewhere towards the middle of the book, I lost touch with it a little where big events were glossed over very quickly, emotionlessly and in a very matter of fact way.

The focus of the book is on mental illnesses and how it impacts, not only the individuals who have mental illnesses but how it impacts others.

I got major Normal People vibes from the writing style and the protagonist, Debbie, shows similar personality traits and characteristics to Marianne from Normal People.

I had very high expectations for this book but I think this may have been its downfall for me personally.
