"Raw, heartfelt, and beautifully real. More or Less Maddy is a story of resilience that resonates."

Synopsis

More or Less Maddy is a deeply moving and honest portrait of a young woman coming to terms with a life-changing diagnosis. Maddy, a college freshman with big dreams, is thrown off course when she's diagnosed with bipolar disorder. As she struggles to find her footing, she turns to stand-up comedy as an outlet for self-expression and survival. Lisa Genova brings her signature compassion and insight to this powerful story about identity, acceptance, and hope.

Our Take

Lisa Genova brings her neuroscientist background to this emotional narrative, crafting a story that's as educational as it is moving. Fans of Genova's previous works like Still Alice will appreciate her nuanced portrayal of mental health, while newcomers will be drawn in by Maddy's authentic voice and journey. This is contemporary fiction at its finest—bridging entertainment and empathy while tackling important topics with grace.
