Ratings and reviews

I could almost see the montage of scenes with the turn of each page. A beautifully written emotional tribute - I got excited with narrator, I felt the desperation and hope with the progression of the book and the peak of despair before the abrupt end. I can't say it was an emotional rollercoaster because it felt sad throughout, even the moments of happiness had a tinge of sadness, it lingered and even though there is hope at the end and the narrator may or may not have found peace, the turmoil doesn't seem to have been assuaged. A moving piece of work. Worth the read and a reread. (I didn't want it to end.)

Hey. This was really amazing, I just read it in one go & wanted to share my most honest feelings immediately after reading it. I won't even try to be poetic in my response, but all I want to say is that reading this felt like the beginning, middle & end of my past experiences with Love, Life & depression. It's insane how you taped into some of my most vulnerable emotions, your work is implacable. Your words are a mirror to the soul & to some of our deepest fears. Thank you for writing and healing. 😭♥️

I'm not one to easily share my feelings, especially the soft, mooshy kind of feelings but reading this book made me tap into that territory. I think it's quite powerful to be able to articulate the emotions that most of us hide due to pride. Ironically, expressing your weaknesses are a sign of strength. Great read
