What happens when your hero of a sister looses her mind? Sonya Sones shows us the feeling of a young girls when her older sister has a mental breakdown through a book of poems. Dealing with loosing her sister to an institution and having a discordant relationship with her parents is not easy for this young girl. She also has to deal with what the world would say if they knew... that crazy runs in her family.
Personal Review
I have only read one other book of poetry and once again I loved the separating pages that in the over all view correspond but all have separate layers to dissect. Stop Pretending was a wonderful and intriguing book that has different ideas about how to deal with something like mental illness. Sonya Sones is a wonderful author that used the poetry to its fullest extent to make this amazing novel.
