"we are rooting,
cheering for you
to live & thrive."

Broke my heart than stitched it back up. Beautiful and full of metaphors

I loved this just as much if not more than Me (Moth). I struggle with my mental health and felt this book so deeply, especially towards the end where I kept crying as I read. I needed this even with the author's note at the front stating that it could be triggering to the reader. Please read content/trigger warnings if you are someone who is/or has struggled with mental health. This can be a difficult and emotional read. 
The cover is stunning, the writing is beautiful, and I will definitely look out for whatever the author publishes next.

This was effing beautiful. I do not suffer from clinical depression but have a dear friend who does. The way this was written…the imagery…idk…I am done in—in a good way. I wish I were more eloquent and could say what I’m trying to say. But I loved it. Reading this will both break your heart and uplift your spirits. Highly recommend. 

And the audio the is fantastically done. So beautiful. Highly recommend listening if you can.

Great book! But I strongly suggest you read it with your eyes (ebook or physical copy) rather than listening on audio. There are a lot of formatting things (e.g., lists) that don't translate well to audio. Very short and easy to get through, but worth the read!
