I liked that it was pretty easy read and not overly-long so it didn't feel like it was pushing the point. I found myself telling my OH about funny/ interesting bits of the story which is normally a good indication I'm enjoying it. I too was intrigued throughout whether it was a breakdown or not. I was also happy it made me listen to Clair de Lune. The list at the end was too long and a bit pretentious, but Leonardo Da Vinci made me laugh too.

I thought the whole list thing was actually quite nice, and whilst some of it was a little trite, I could imagine something like that making a difference to a troubled teenager.
