This reminded me of several other books and movies that take place in hospitals and mental institutions or even at boarding schools in some ways. The story not only details the romance between the two, but her recovery, his mental illness, and several other characters that they hang out with. She meets Ollie who is different from anyone she has ever met before because he makes her feel things. Mia is there because she believes she is a sociopath, she is unable to feel any emotions or empathy. If they act out they can get sent to solitary confinement or to the mental institution next door. But they are also locked in at night and have rules and some of them are on medications. The place is a cross between a mental health center where people get therapy and a college where they take classes and get credits, but if they fail or get in trouble they will end up in prison or a mental institution.
The story is about Mia who gets sent by her father and Stepmother to an institution in England called Dolor. I knew what was coming and everything building up to that point was pulling me in and making me feel but I just couldn’t turn away because it was so good. The first chapter was a foreshadowing of things to come so it was almost like watching the titanic.
