Genre: Psychological Contemporary
Basic Plot: Branson, a seventeen year old track star with a bright future, is faced with a crippling change, he is Schizophrenic. His mother and family try their best to help him face his illness but everything is changing and his delusions are only getting worse. This is one family’s tale of how mental illness can change your whole world.
I received an advance review copy for free through BookSirens, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.
I loved this. Really, truly loved this. I am always interested in mental health novels, especially ones about schizophrenia and ones that contain dark undertones. This book delivered on every front and exceeded extremely well in one aspect, it’s based on real experience and was extremely heartfelt in ways that most can’t achieve. This author really drags you through the emotional upheaval someone can go through when diagnosed with a life altering mental illness. It’s written beautifully and you can really feel the connections in this book.
I gave it a full 5 out of 5 because there was nothing at all I disliked about this. It was a little creepy and dark at times as well as informative and touching. I would recommend this book to nearly anyone as I think it has a little something for every person to take away with them.
