I went into this book with a semi-false description given to me. Or maybe I misunderstood what they meant when they said the main character "goes crazy". I would say its more that she becomes severely depressed, not crazy. I don't know, I guess I just didn't expect to relate so much so when I was reading it.
I wanted to give it a lower score, but then I reflected on it and I realized if I had been given a more accurate synopsis I would have loved this book. It's not the books fault that the description was unclear.
