Black Box Audiobook

" The premise was interesting, but I just didn't feel enough of a connection to the characters to see this as being more than a basic book about depression and a family's experience with it. I liked the author note at the end. Still, this book just didn't seem to GO anywhere. For people with no experience in mental illness, this could be a good introduction, but I'd rather direct a reader to Sonia Sones. "
