Tamar is admitted to Lime Grove, a psychiatric hospital for teenagers,
where she's asked endless questions.


Will you tell us what happened? How do you feel, on a scale
of one to ten?


But there's one question Tamar can't – won't – answer:
What happened to her friend Iris?





A uniquely powerful, devastating novel of friendship,
fragility and guilt.

Stunningly literary YA about one girl’s mental
illness and the redemptive power of truth and healing.


A shocking, moving and sometimes darkly funny depiction
of life on a psychiatric ward, drawn from the true experience
of the author.
