I received a copy of A Danger to Herself and Others from Netgalley in exchange for my honest review.

I don't know what I was expecting when I requested this book, but a first-person unreliable narrative was not it. I had no idea what had really happened to get Hannah remanded to the institute, but the back and forth with herself gave me a few insights early on.

This book will pull you in and have you almost believe that you are experiencing things right along with Hannah. I was so sure that Lucy was real and that having a roommate was a great thing for Hannah.

The ending seemed a little rushed, I would have liked Hannah to spend more time in treatment with her original doctor, but I understand wanting to get a child (even though she is now a senior in high school) home and back to a "normal" routine.

It was wonderful to take this journey with Hannah, worth the read. This book makes you think about views of the world and how strong the mind can be with coping. ( )

Without getting into spoilers… this one kept me guessing! You wake up locked in a room. You’re sure you shouldn’t be there. No one will listen. It’s all a mistake. Or is it? As one could probably guess from the subject matter, kind of a tough read that raises some hard questions. Many twists. Thoroughly interesting and kept me turning pages.

Trigger Warnings: bulimia, anorexia, mental health issues, abandonment and neglect, suicide

Please excuse typos/name misspellings. Entered on screen reader. ( )

Anika Lal - Ce livre parle d'une adolescente qui a été victime d'un crime, parce que sa amie et elle jouaient à un jeu innocent. ( )

A great, straightforward example of an unreliable narrator. It was hard to put down. ( )
