this book is well-written and delves into the world of the sane vs. the insane. i enjoyed the depictions of mental illness, though i thought some were a bit far-fetched. i absolutely hated the ending—the doctor had told veronika she was dying when she actually wasn’t…all for some scientific discovery he was making??? literally what. yes, thinking that you’re dying will make you want to live more, but psychology could’ve told you that!!! you didn’t need to drug your patient in order to make her think she was dying!!!
