Adelaide

Adelaide ~ Genevieve Wheeler

Adelaide Williams is an American living and working in London. As the book opens, she admits herself to the hospital after attempting suicide. She has good friends who support her in her recovery and her recollections on the why behind her suicide attempt.

Adelaide had fallen for a dashing Englishman, Rory Hughes. Adelaide’s mental health spirals over the course of their relationship, as he vacillates between being loving and fun to being distant and withholding. Can she learn to love herself and break the unhealthy cycle she is in with Rory?

Here’s where writing a review months after listening to it is an issue. I remember the facts of the story, I know what happens and I thought it was handled well. I remember being pulled in and wanting to know what happens next. But I don’t remember how I felt about it. Did I love it? Clearly not enough to remember. But I do think it handled mental illness pretty well, and I thought it was pretty good. Recommended? Maybe, but who can say?
