Ellen is diagnosed with Bi-Polar I Disorder and shares her deepest thoughts and actions as she goes on a quest for making her life the best it can be.
Geez! Reading this book made ME feel bipolar! The ups and downs and racing thoughts were difficult to read. I can only imagine living it!
I really liked that Ellen pursued a question throughout the book that I found intriguing: Does taking medication (to temper the highs and lows) affect creativity? It gave a focus to the book, and she does come to a conclusion for herself. I liked her perseverance and the insight that she gained.

I liked this one a lot too - it made me understand bipolar disorder a little more.

ReplyDeleteBybee ~ You really get a good understanding what Bipolar is from her perspective.
DeleteThis one tempts me because I think the cover is cool. Not sure if the story will really do it for me though.
ReplyDeleteStacybuckeye ~ I don't think you would want this book in your home. There are several pages of nudity in it. I forgot to mention that in my post.
