I enjoyed this. The beginning was fun and flirty before we started in on the more serious aspects of mental illness and family issues. Nevertheless I liked their story, the slow young love that builds between our characters.

I love this book. Though it the third book in the series. I would love to read book 1 and two. This book deals with someone who struggling to deal with herself and her Illness a bit and building a relationship. This book does go into several thing about dealing the illness and how to over come it and several different issues. I really do believe the author did a great job. I will let you decide it you ever want to read it and come away with your own thoughts on it.
  
Well written, very informative and knowledgeable about how to survive with a chronic illness. I will definitely be using some of the information I found out. I voluntarily read and reviewed an Advanced Reader Copy of this book from Netgalley.

"A meticulous and raw portrait of mourning and grief that takes us through the year after the death of Didion’s husband, as well the accident, illness, and eventual death of her daughter soon afterward. I cried so many times reading this."

Pretty disappointing
This series didn’t live up to the hype. I couldn’t really follow the timelines. Was this a show about mental illness or was this a show about a paranormal house or a group of psychic children? Who the hell knows.

"This is about a young man who goes to a sanitarium in the Swiss Alps to visit his tubercular cousin and winds up staying there for seven years. To paraphrase the Stefon character from SNL, “it’s got everything: love, illness, art, philosophy, religion…”"
