"The map of true places" is the story of Zee, the shrink. She is a therapist that has had a very troubled childhood and youth herself. One of her patients commits suicide and as a result she takes a long time off in order to put her life together again. One thing I liked of this book is that for the first time I find a fictional therapist that actually believes in her product. She believes that therapy, talking to someone and taking the right medication can actually help people put their lives on the right track again. One thing I liked a lot was the consistency of the characters, I could connect to them right away; it was the most amazing thing. And as a bonus, the book has an interesting and thrilling twist near to the end, with all the "oh"s and "ah"s that usually come with that kind of action. A very interesting and entertaining book that I would recommend without hesitation.
