A fast paced story of a young man dealing with unmedicated bipolar disorder and grief and death in his life. This story takes us on his dark adventures on his prom night in San Francisco and Oakland.
The dialog between the MMC and his peers is spot on. The story is gut wrenching and sad in so many ways. It ends with me wanting more! Wanting to know what's next for Jonah.
