"4.5 stars and I went back and forth on whether to go with 4 or 5.
If you read Lisa Genova's book Still Alice, it's about Alzheimers. This is similar but about bipolar. A little bit of a heavy topic, but I think she does a really good job and the book will definitely stick with me. Would recommend. "

"Enjoyed this read and appreciated the main characters range of emotions around her accident and paralysis, plus the semi-predictable love story intertwined.

Also loved these quotes:
"when you don't know what to do for yourself, do something for someone else"

"But you have to live the life you have. You have to find inspiration in the struggle, and pull joy out of the hardship. That’s what we try to do—counterbalance the suffering with laughter, fuzzy blankets, hugs, sing-alongs, sunny-day picnics, chocolate chip cookies, and wildflowers. Because that’s all we can do: carry the sorrow when we have to, and absolutely savor the joy when we can. Life is always, always both.""

"ALWAYS exciting!!! "
