Manic by Lindsay Crook

Speaking of Bipolar...

Things can be going fine for the longest time, and then you're triggered. It could be something big or it could be something small. But it sets the ball rolling, and from then on, you are more easily triggered. This is what happens when you have a hyper-manic episode. As a person with Type 1 Bipolar, I would say that there are some things the author captured very well, and others that she missed the ball on, but she got the overall sense of things. It seems to me, the protagonist was undiagnosed, didn't realize that she was acting irrationally, and she wasn't fazed by her reactions to what was happening to her. She had no filter. She did what she wanted, what seemed right in the moments and, and said what came to mind, without fear of reprocessions. I just hope that she gets the help and treatment she needs, because prison isn't the place for her. It will only make things worse, and if she were in her right mind, none of this would have happened. You know, blame the illness, not the person.

This is exactly why I don’t complain about anything while eating out at restaurants, and always leave a big tip. Great unique and descriptive kills in this story. Loved it!

Sickeningly Satisfying

Lindsay has taken the ideas of a true manic and brought them to life. I can't say that I wouldn't have done some of these same things or at least thought about it a time or two.
