I thought this book was really beautiful and it described depression really well. I loved reading about Aysel and the way her perception of the world and her own life grew, about how her thoughts changed. My only problem would be that the book never drew me in and intrigued me, I kind of had to drag myself through it. But maybe it's a play on the quote "Life, my friends, is boring." mentioned in the story. Either way, it's a good story.
