I enjoyed the individual case studies and the complexities of neurology but the heavy use of jargon made me rate this lower. What made me rate lower was he referenced to other neurologists like I knew them and had read their books. This is a book for people with an understanding of neurological disorders.
  
This book touched on a lot of hard subjects that I wasn't expecting(eating disorders, self harm, and rape), and it handled all of them very honestly. It didn't hold back, but it didn't glorify any unhealthy behavior either. I absolutely love Virginia, the main character, and can't wait to read more about her in the sequel.
