Acid Rain
Genuinely one of the best books I have read. Extremely well-written and thought provoking and had a lot of twists and turns so I never really knew what was going to happen. It was original and had excellent descriptions of nature. Harry and Alex were my favourite characters but I really liked them all. I couldn’t stop reading from the second part and finished it very quickly

When a young woman is sentenced to a high-security mental institution for a crime she has committed, she is thrown into a decaying building with staff struggling under tight budget cuts, and heavily sedated patients who spend most of their time in front of the giant-screen TV. It is there she meets Harry, a strange eccentric with a deep scar around his neck, and they manage to escape.
With no money and no phones, and nowhere to go, they must survive on the streets, and in nature in any way they can.
An exploration of spirituality and self, this story involves themes of nature, philosophy, and mental health through one girl’s journey and the people she
meets.
I loved this book from the front pages and literally devoured it. The style is very agile while dealing with complex themes. I fell in love with the protagonist as soon as I met her. The third part, the most spiritual, is very interesting. I highly recommend it
