Great

It's more of a novella than a book, but still great.

An eye opener book and a good twisted on the four horseman

I liked how she incorporated the tire story from her life to make you open your eyes and seek help. Lisabeth thinks everyone is against her, her little voice in her head is telling her bad things. By then end she realizes she does need help and she doesn't want to die.
