"This book is seriously gritty, yes in places the narrative is messy but to me that just adds to the reality of the piece. I felt like I was standing next to Megan as she filed the police reports, as he heart sank at the sight of another email and lifted again at the sight of her precious daughter. I have given Who am I? 5 stars because of the emotional response it provoked in me. This is a book I will remember. I couldn't put this down from the moment I started it and finished it in two nights, the second it was after 1am when I finished. 

When approaching this book please remember that it is not fiction, it is not a novel - which is by definition fictitious prose - this book is heart wrenchingly real and I wouldn't change a bit of it. The author does go into minute details at times but this for me just served to build the picture of what Megan was facing and what she and her family went through.

I suffer from depression and panic disorder myself and found the way that Megan opens up about her time in the hospital being treated for her mental health as truly inspiring. I can't imagine how she must have felt going through all of this, there must have been many times when she wanted to give up which is where her beautiful little girl stepped in and kept her going. This books shows the remarkable strength of a mother's love. 

I'd be very interested to hear more from Megan, about the rebuilding of her life and how her parents and her daughter are now."
