Very honest book. It's hopeful, but realistic. It depicts mental illness(es), mental states, in a way that someone who know those feelings will read themselves every page of the book, and someone who doesn't will get to feel understanding and compassion. This book makes you want to hug people, tell them that it's okay, that they should be kinder and more compassionate with themselves. It's also full of triggers - so readers should be advised and some people might find this book more distressing than helpful. Still a good read, and important, but if one feels okay and ready.
