This book took me on quite an emotional roller coaster. The main character, Lennox, is a mother of 2 young children and is married to a firefighter, Dean, who spends most of his week at the fire station. In essence, she's a single mom with a part time partner.Lennox suffers from depression and bipolar disorder. Throughout the entire book, I felt like I was right there with her, during her highs and during her lows. The story jumps around various times in Lennox's life a lot. From high school, when she was first together with Dean to current when she is struggling with her marriage, and even to the future when she is... (Oop's can't tell you, spoiler) She struggles with daily life and relationships. Her and Dean's relationship has many rocky times, but they overcome them and grow together.This is an emotionally raw story that brought me to tears more than once. Overall, it was a good read, that made me sympathize more for those that suffer from similar disorders.
