Ten Miles One Way

(3) YA As Nest, Q's sometimes-girlfriend, lies in a coma following a suicide attempt, Q recalls a long walk they shared years earlier, during which Nest confided in him the beauty and terror of her bipolar disorder. Like the walk, the narrative is meandering and memorable; a heartbreaking novel with a realistic assessment of the limitations of love in redeeming the mentally ill.
