bethanyruth's review against another edition
5.0
I added this book to my "best of 2020" list without hesitation. The author is kind and gentle with her writing, even as she stares unflinchingly into the depths of mental illness. I found it to be very helpful with my own mental health and have already mentioned it specifically to several friends. Highly recommended.

I liked this collection of essays but it was a lot to take in at once. I would have enjoyed this more reading one a week or if the author had woven them more clearly with her own story. Perhaps I expected more of a memoir.
