Ironically I listened to this while struggling to fall asleep and it really helped me doze off 3💊 NB This bitch really could’ve just booked a 1yr holiday in Bali and got the exact same result  😭

mold_munchr's review against another edition

Super triggering. I started this book because so many ppl recommended it online, and at first I couldn't decide if I loved or hated it. I ultimately couldn't get through it because it was too triggering. It felt like a depiction of mental illnes (which I'd experienced) that was so real in its mundane nature, and I ultimately decided it wasn't good for me to keep reading. Be careful reading this book if you have experience with mental health yourself, and look up trigger warnings
