rae_diant's review against another edition

dark emotional hopeful reflective sad tense medium-paced

5.0

Despite its flaws, this has got to be one of the best books I've read. Slow paced but a devouring read. You empathize with Wurtzel even when you know, and she knows, she screwed up. A fight through depression with an inspiring end. As someone who suffers from depression but is in a good place right now, I only recommend this book to someone who is in a healthy mind.
