Gayleen Froese Why Gayleen loves this book

As a person who lives with mental illness, and who sees friends, family, and neighbours struggle with their own, I hear a lot of talk about it, but it’s mostly surface. Memes and platitudes.

Rosen’s best friend went from promise to illness to a façade of recovery and finally tragedy, and Rosen has real things to say about it—considered, complicated, and with context both personal and historical. This is the conversation about mental illness I’ve wanted and needed that comes to the topic with compassion but doesn’t stint on honesty or look away from disappointment. I don’t get to look away, either, and I appreciate that Rosen is there with me.
