Why read it?

1 author picked The Pocket Wife as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

I love the way the author sheds light on bi-polar disorder that affects approximately 2.6 percent of the American population. Her depiction of the intensity of the illness helps readers understand why many people suffering from the disorder die from suicide.

Despite her unreliability, I was drawn to the main character as she struggled to prove her innocence to herself and the reader. I love a book that teaches me something new while drawing me into its spell.

From Katherine's list on books with gaslighting and manipulation.
