A beautiful story of love and loss and coping. It shows the nature of mental illness and its affect on someone. Adelaide grew up with her sisters and mothers mental disorders. She did not see the problems that the illness caused just excused her obsessives compulsive tendency. The book shows the nature of mental illness is varied and not always the same symptoms. The books shows the path of mental illness, its bumps and problems. It does a beautiful description of mental health, and the path to feeling better. The author shows how getting help is important from the first page. She describes in detail the recovery and the work needed. I think this is something that should be read by many middle school children, not only showing sympathy, but giving a direct path that shows that mental health is important, and asking for help is normal.
the voice of the audio book is beautiful, and deep and tender. It adds to the atmosphere of the story.

Reading the series for the last decade i find it intriguing and insightful, Brandon does a good job continuing the series the only difference i see is that in this one instead of connecting fully with the girl characters i felt more like Rand and found my self questioning the method of madness, weather it is a voice within or just yourself driving you crazy.
