Awesome review!!! This book sounds amazing and absolutely terrifying all at once! I sometimes wonder about the future of mental health care, and it seems like this author has tapped into my fears! I want to read this book, but I'm afraid it might freak me out :shock:

Thank you for your kind words. :D The book was incredible. It was very realistic. Allison Rose actually wrote an interesting blog post about her research on mental health advances. http://thegirlandthebook.com/2015/06/16 ... tyle-pt-1/
