Review of 'Beside myself' on 'Goodreads'

3 stars

The only reason why this book gets three stars instead of five is because it was kind of confusing, with the switching back and forth. I really do however feel that the author really knew mental illness. Once I started reading the book, I kept wanting to know what was going to happen, and how the book was going to end.
The book has a really dark atmosphere, but I rather liked that, as well.
