Book 45 of 2012: Hurry down Sunshine by Michael Greenberg. This was a memoir, written by the father of a teenaged daughter; she experiences bouts of psychosis and/or bipolar disorder. It could have been more riveting; more painful or intense than it actually was, in my opinion. While reading the book, I couldn't shed the thought that he was somehow removed from her, and focused on his literary efforts; having said that, I'm obviously not qualified to really pass judgement, as I've never loved someone who struggles with psychosis. I don't know--the book just seemed to be so much more about him than her, and she was definitely the more interesting character. I just couldn't really get into it.
