The Shock of the Fall

What a fantastic book about mental illness and resilience. I was not expecting the feeling of warmth this book left me with. It unflinching in its depiction of having severe mental health difficulties and in loss. Yet it was deeply hopeful. Full recommendations on this one

Fantastic. I laughed, I almost cried on the bus, my heart was broken. On top of a well written book that hits all the feels, the use of atypical text really worked well.

Un roman assez particulier, par toujours très facile à suivre, mais diablement efficace pour nous plonger dans la tête d'un adolescent schizophrène qui tente de faire le deuil de son frère aîné. J'ai eu parfois du mal à avancer dans ce livre, mais j'ai finalement bien aimé le dénouement.

I don't think I have ever suffered from mental illness but this book made me feel like I understood it. Read it
