Finished Perfect by Rachel Joyce last night and found it devastatingly upsetting.

The part where Byron is first taken to Besley Hall just tore me to shreads, so heartbreaking.

A very melancholic book overall but one I couldn't put down.

Anyone else enjoyed it?

I just read the first bit of your post as it came up on Unanswered Messages... I am NOT reading the rest!

I've just got to Part Two of it, enjoying it as a good read but it's making me sad as I have OCD and have spent time in a psychiatric unit too. It's making me feel quite vulnerable in the sense of just how easy it would be to get to Jim's state :(

I'll be back when I've finished, until then forgive me for ignoring this thread - I'm not risking opening it again in case I see too much! :o

I really didn't enjoy it but loved Harold Fry.

Haven't read Harold Fry yet but don't think my emotions would be able to cope if its as sad as Perfect!
