RaveThe Seattle ReviewThis story is well-crafted, so much so that I had difficulty sometimes remembering that it is a memoir, not fiction. Memoirs are often written in a confessional, journal-like style rather than story-like in structure. Fiction is usually better structured, formed into a narrative. The author has taken that care with this work: introducing characters and conflict, building suspense, and leaving cliffhangers. It is, for this reason, a compelling story and difficult to put down ... The book is critical of the state of mental health care in Canada, the author’s country ... This is a strong, well-written book that informs the reader on the topic of mental illness and its treatment.
