    Although this is not my most favourite book, it's very good! I like how Victoria is very honest about her self-injury. I love the fact that she doesn't hold back, that she is honest about how she thought about it, about her thoughts of cutting.
    Sometimes I felt angry that it seemed like she just didn't want to get better, but that's what makes this book so real. You can really feel how she felt, see where she was coming from.

    Pretty good book

    I was interested in Bloodletting because I, myself, am bipolar. The book was very well written and very releastic. It could have, however, gone into more detail but the detail was still pretty good. I could relate to the book. The only thing I was not happy about was that the women was older then I expected. I was looking for a book more about teenagers and bipolar. It was still a great book though and I do not regret buying it.
