Disclosure: I received a complimentary copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
Did I enjoy this book? I liked this book! The premise is a bit unusual, but I like that sort of thing. Our main character, Max, is suffering from depression and the doctors claim they can no longer help her. She goes to a retreat center on an island paradise where the treatment methods are . . . different. I don’t want to explain much more and ruin the plot for you! Max is a completely believable heroine. Though I’ve never suffered from depression, her portrayal seems completely legit. You will definitely keep turning pages to see how this one is going to develop.
My only complaint is that the ending could have been done a little bit better. It was still a good ending, but not as great as the rest of the book. I’m honestly just nitpicking here–it was a good book.
Would I recommend it? Absolutely. I actually already HAVE recommended it!
About the book – from Goodreads:
–The Lucidity Project stirs readers to look at life and their abilities in an exhilarating new way.- — POPSUGAR
Depression has haunted twenty-five-year-old Max Dorigan her entire life. After years of unsuccessful treatment and a failed suicide attempt, Max agrees to join -The Lucidity Project, – a program at a mysterious health and wellness resort in the Caribbean–where, she soon finds, the people are just as troubled as she is, only in a different way. They claim to have psychic powers. They claim they can see ghosts. They claim Max is one of them. Max refuses to pay much attention until Dr. Micah McMoneagle, the charismatic head of the project, reveals he’s found a way to allow people to enter each other’s dreams. Now, instead of discussing their issues in talk therapy, Max and her new gifted friends can symbolically work through their problems on the astral plane. Together they embark on a magical, transformational journey through dreamtime to reveal the causes of the things that are holding them back–an adventure that ultimately awakens them to who they really are, and what they came to earth to do.
