Harvard-trained neuroscientist and bestselling author Lisa Genova has crafted another profoundly moving novel that makes complicated mental health issues accessible and human. Maddy Banks is just like any other stressed-out freshman at NYU. Between schoolwork, navigating life in the city, and a recent breakup, it’s normal to be feeling overwhelmed. But Maddy spirals high into a terrifying mania that culminates in a diagnosis of bipolar disorder. As she struggles with the complex effects being bipolar has on her identity and relationships, Maddy will have to figure out how to manage being both too much and not enough.
