First, I appreciate the Galvin family opening up their lives; it's possible that other people who read this book, or even hear about it, may realize they or someone they know may need help.

However, several chunks of the book seemed to focus on whether or not the two sisters were getting along or had a grudge against the other. There's no question that growing up in a family with half of the siblings experiencing mental illness without a clear diagnosis or solution would fray family relations. But, perhaps some of that could have been edited out?
