An excellent read for any and all readers! Author comes at you with both barrels and knocks you out of your shoes! Great job fleshing out all the characters. I give this book FIVE stars! Definitely recommend!

**Review: "The Fabrication of Sanity"**

In this sharp-witted satire, the author invites us into the turbulent mind of Robbie, a young man grappling with profound loss and societal pressure to "get help." Through his relationship with the seemingly benevolent Dr. Robert, the narrative intricately explores the often blurred lines between therapeutic aid and manipulation.

The story deftly combines dark humor with deep introspection, challenging conventional perceptions of mental health while exposing the vulnerabilities that accompany a search for healing. Robbie's journey serves as a poignant reminder of the potential perils lurking behind a facade of trust, forcing readers to reconsider the motives of those we deem “experts.”

As Robbie navigates the treacherous waters of psychiatric care, the book sheds light on the complexities of trauma and the systemic issues within mental health practices. It ultimately raises a haunting question: Can we truly separate the healer from the hidden villain? This provocative tale sticks with you long after the last page is turned, leaving a lasting impression that lingers like a whisper of doubt in one's mind. A must-read for anyone who has ever questioned the sanctity of those we've entrusted with our mental well-being.

Robby es un joven extremadamente inteligente pero emocionalmente marcado por la repentina muerte de su madre. A lo largo de los años, su incapacidad para relacionarse con los demás lo lleva a una vida aislada, hasta que, tras una nueva tragedia familiar, decide asistir a terapia con el reconocido psiquiatra Dr. Robert.

A pesar de su reticencia inicial, Robby comienza a confiar en su terapeuta, pero pronto descubre que el doctor no es quien aparenta ser. Al conocer a otro de los pacientes y percatarse de comportamientos extraños, su curiosidad se convierte en obsesión, llevándolo a robar el diario de Dr. Robert y desentrañar oscuros secretos sobre el hombre que se suponía debía ayudarlo.

Una historia de intriga psicológica y tensión creciente, donde la inteligencia y el dolor se entrelazan con la revelación de verdades perturbadoras que cambiarán para siempre la visión de Robby sobre la salud mental y la confianza en los demás.

Robby es un narrador poco confiable por lo que todo el tiempo intentaba encontrar pistas.

No pude con la parte de Maddy, me dio tanto asco.
