"In Style" I have read the preview and really impressed.Subtle and strong, the narrative slowly unfolds the personal trajectories of the characters. Angela deserves praise for telling us the hidden aspects of our mind that still exists.It is a very reassuring feeling.

"Chilling Reality" As a registered nurse with over twenty years in the psychiatric speciality, I'd like to comment on the reality of the writing. I've worked with Janie! I know her (or patients very much like her). The depths of her emotions, the believability of her delusions, and, most importantly, the ability to make others (including the reader) believe them is incredible. Dynamite, Angela! Is another one in line?

"Who decides reality?" From reading the preview alone this story captures your attention and holds you captive. Living with mental illness within a family is chaotic, often leaving loved ones in a constant state of worry and upheaval. This story opens a surreal window into a tortured, very frightened mind. You feel for her, you feel for the ones she will desert, and you feel for the times she will miss due to fear to live through painful memories... Ms. Hooper is able to give a realistic insight into a young woman's troubled mind as she struggles to hold on to sanity...

I would recommend this book to anyone, but especially to anyone who has had the spectre of mental illness touch themselves or a family member.

"Chillingly real" I've only been privileged to read the preview so far, but those few pages were more than enough to drop me into the world of a highly disturbed young women in search of something that even she has no idea what it is.

If you like descriptive and emotive literary fiction that takes you deep into the heart of the human condition, this is definitely a must read.

"EXCELLENT" Kept me on the edge of my seat!!!! Very well written, riveting!!!! ~Litha Daniels
