Literary Merit: Great Characterization: Great Recommended: yes Level: High School or above Tamar is in a psychiatric hospital after her friend Iris dies. Tamar attempted sucide but her father came home early from work and saved her life. This novel has a powerful hook that makes you want to keep reading even though sections are uncomfortable. The Hook: Tamar believes she killed Iris. While Tamar is at the psychiatric hospital she meets several lovable characters. She befriends individuals with anorexia or bipolar disorders. Spoiler alert: Tamar did not kill Iris. Iris killed herself. Iris’ death did cause an onset of Tamar’s borderline personality disorder. The author’s note at the end of the book is empowering to anyone suffering with mental illness. The novel concludes: “I am proud because I killed my monster, then destroyed the evidence, and I annihilated the darkness that tried to kill me, I climbed one hundred barbed-wire fences and I escaped hopelessness. I yearn for the madness of life and I hope you will, too.” Zeige 2 von 2 keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen

Tamar is admitted to Lime Grove, a psychiatric ward for teenagers, where the psychologists ask her endless questions. How did the self-harming start? 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 forgiveness. Contains scenes of suicide and self-harm that some readers may find upsetting.

Also, the last 5-ish pages were just... ridiculous. Like, what????? I'm convinced the author read a different trashy book about mental hospitals and then wrote this bc it was all just... oy. Also, the author kept deciding on different things halfway through, like they never brought up running until the very end and suddenly it was her entire identity?? And there was no consistency to the anxious thoughts. It was also just so unrealistic to the point that it was kind of hilarious, and literally nothing happened yet somehow so much happened and suddenly she's like "this insignificant character changed my life."
Okay I'm so sorry if the author is reading this. It's not personal and I hope you take this constructively. Maybe your next book will be better. ( )
