The premise was really interesting, both having a heroine with a mental illness and the ideas of how the mentally ill might be treated in the future. And except for Katie and Scott, the rest of the characters were one dimensional.īut, I don't actually have to like characters to enjoy a book, and that's the case here. One, vomiting at 1/6 earth gravity should probably not be as easy peasy as it is here, and two, Katie really seemed to be schizophrenic rather than bipolar.Īdditionally, it wasn't a very long story and the writing, particularly the dialogue, was kind of wooden. I also had two other points of confusion. And he's shocked that she doesn't immediately trust him him when he tells her he wants her back? It's ridiculous. He enabled her for years and but finally gets fed up, and then instead of being a responsible adult he's a manipulative prick.

Katie is spoiled and entitled and Scott is a shortsighted enabling ass. I didn't care for either of these characters in the slightest. He works out an elaborate plan to divorce her and cause her to hit rock bottom so she'll have the surgery. So her husband, Scott, hatches a plan to take her to the moon where the only doctor who performs the brain implant surgery for her condition works. The only other option is surgical impntation of a chip in her brain, which she's afraid of and so refuses.

Katie is supposedly bipolar, and along with the common occurrence of her going off her meds when she feels well, even when she does take them they're not entirely effective. I received an ARC of this book from the Publisher, via Netgalley, in exchange for an honest review.
