A Danger to Herself and Others

I really enjoyed this book, which I listened to on audiobook. The book was about Hannah, a girl who is institutionalized after an “incident” where her school roommate falls out a window. Hannah is being observed for signs of mental illness, too see if she was crazy and to try to see if she was capable of pushing her beloved friend out the window.

Hannah is obviously an unreliable narrator from the start. She tends to ramble and not always make sense but I really enjoyed listening to her. The book was an interesting depiction of mental illness and not really like anything I had read before. The plot line, and style of the book gave me similar vibes to the movie “The Uninvited” which I love, though without all the creepiness or mystery since this book is pretty straightforward: no creepiness, no big twists or surprises.
