Another fabulous book by Lisa Genova! It's been too long between books. Genova has a degree in neuro science and has written books about traumatic brain injuries, Alzheimer's, Huntington's Disease and ALS, and this time she tackles BiPolar Disorder.
This story is about Maddy, a young lady getting ready to embark on her college career. The summer starts out where she is depressed over her boyfriend breaking up with her, and it descends from there. She is under a lot of pressure at NYU, and her personality starts to change. We watch her go through manic episodes and depression while trying to carry on with her life, not understanding what is happening. This book was exhausting at times, and times I just couldn't put it down. I was so afraid for her life, and I was afraid for the ending. Lisa Genova obviously does a lot of research, and once again does not disappoint.
