A powerful and devastating YA novel about the redemptive power of truth and healing.

'An important book and a very impressive, ultimately hopeful, treatment of mental illness.' KIRKUS, STARRED REVIEW

Tamar is admitted to Lime Grove, a psychiatric hospital for teenagers, where she's asked endless questions.

Will you tell us what happened? How do you feel, on a scale of one to ten?

But there's one question Tamar can't - won't - answer: What happened to her friend Iris?

• A uniquely powerful, devastating novel of friendship, fragility and guilt.
• Stunningly literary YA about one girl's mental illness and the redemptive power of truth and healing.
• A shocking, moving and sometimes darkly funny depiction of life on a psychiatric ward, drawn from the true experience of the author.
