Yesterday

I know a lot of people who have had it and wished they had done it sooner. I’m finishing up More or Less Maddy by Lisa Genova. It’s about a college student’s first year after being diagnosed with bipolar. Genova has a Ph.D. in Neuroscience and she can really get the reader inside a character’s brain.

See ya next week .
