Finally, a book that's more about recovery than describing the disease.
The worst book, sorry to say. I never got into it, never could relate never understood her "point of view". Fair to say, I might be too old for these kind of books now or to far into the flow to long for more mature literature and this was definitely a huge step back. I read lots and lots of books on the topic, this was one of the worst ones.
