Good, quick read. Perfect for summer reading. Keeps you guessing throughout like any good whodunnit. Gives you insight into what bi-polar disease or any mental illness does to its sufferer. Empathized with the main character, Dana, as she struggles to figure out if she murdered her neighbor. They were both drunk, she has a good motive for being angry with her neighbor, but Dana can't remember much about that afternoon. She tries to figure things out before the mental breakdown she feels coming strikes or before she's arrested. She's not the only suspect though and the twists and turns of all the suspects keeps you reading and when you aren't reading, you're thinking about the case. Finished it in 24 hours!
