It takes a lot of strength to be able to accept a disease
and even more to be able to openly talk about it, just as Kay did. There are
many different sides to Kay’s disease, for example the fact that she had to use
medication and the many side effects of it, and she was extremely brave to be
open about it in her novel. She gave us insight to the world of mental
illnesses and how people who have them get through it.

I agree with you about there being many sides to a mental illness, and I'm not sure we even got to experience all of them through this book. As much of a reality as depression became for me in throughout this story, I can only understand so much because I haven't experienced mental illness first hand. I can only imagine and hope to truly understand many of the struggles that Kay encounters.
