A review by dhee_reads
Mr. Hotshot CEO by Jackie Lau

5.0

I love how Lau looks at depression as chronic and the care needs that come with that. I think the implications of depression often goes unrecognized. Mh does not live in isolation. It finds it way into self concept, relationships and physical health --for ex, energy too. Lau is really honest about disbelief and apprehension/fear involved. Courtney stands up for herself and her health. She plans for her depression. She simplifies her life. But this makes it really hard to trust new people. It makes her feel like a burden. Courtney is at that threshold when we meet Julian. He is on his own path and struggling with mh in his own way. It's interesting to see what they think of each other. Overall, I liked the characters, the topics, and raw emotion.
