Warning: major spoilers ahead and discussion of mental health issues.
I get a lot of reading recommendations from friends and family, and while I don't always read every single thing I get recommended by them I do consider all of them. My sister came to visit (a shamefully long while ago now) and lent me a few books, among them was It's Kind of a Funny Story by Ned Vizzini. After reading the blurb I was a little unsure of it, but hoped that the title was a little more self-deprecating than literal.
