The Lightness of Hands

This was a really interesting read. I'm not sure I've encountered a YA novel featuring an MC with bipolar II, but this one painted a distinct picture with compassion. It is worth noting that the author has been diagnosed with this same disorder. While grappling with the condition is central to this story, I was equally invested in the other aspects of the plot. I would be curious to see how teens with bipolar II respond to this novel, and I think it brings needed attention to a mental health issue that is often misunderstood. In any case, I'm glad it exists.
