Mental health is something that most don’t understand or even feel comfortable speaking about often for fear of getting it wrong. The author has taken us into the minds of what it could be like to suffer with mental health conditions. The story tells a tale about finding a cure to help the world rid of these conditions which on the basis is a well-written story but it can also help you consider how you can help, what it could be like or simply that listening & acknowledging could start to help.
I enjoyed the story as a novel but also as a thought-provoking story as we engage in the ‘real’ world.

The storyline is in essence about an organisation which would like to eliminate mental illness. The storyline is believable as are the characters that some readers can relate to and their suffering.... Read Full Review
I would definitely recommend this book as it's well written and is a very different plot to a lot of other books.
A very interesting thought-provoking book. I really enjoyed the story and it gives a good insight into the mind of someone who suffers from mental health issues. It starts out quite dark, intriguing and the intensity continues to the end.... Read Full Review
