Thank you NetGalley for this ARC.

This is so beautiful.

It feels so honest and unfiltered. I don't think there's many people who wouldn't relate to at least a part of this book. Being human is having to deal with feelings and sometimes they're not easy to understand or talk about. I feel like this book really manages to capture that.

I liked how it was all broken down into smaller parts, individual obstacles and thoughts and moments in time. It's so easy to read and so beautiful, especially the way that it slowly gets more hopeful as it progresses. The tiny actions we take to make it through depressive episodes or anxiety attacks are so important and I love the way this books talks about and celebrates them.

I'd recommend this to almost anyone. I think it would be a very useful reminder during dark times, that you're not alone and that you can make it through because you've done it before.
