4.0
Tucker’s style is unique. Each chapter represents a different mental illness and she has used lots of interviews with sufferers of each illness to create a monologue inside the mind of someone afflicted. At the end of the chapter there is a section about misconceptions, and a section titled “what I wish I could tell you about my (insert illness)”. This is really well done.
I agreed entirely with Tucker’s words at the start of the book, when she talks about how even though people post supportive things on social media all the time about mental health issues, there is still a lot of stigma and a long way to go. The misconceptions in particular are presented so accurately.
I’d recommend proceeding with caution with this one if you’ve been exposed to mental illnesses such as depression, anxiety, self harm, bipolar, PTSD, BPD, or eating disorders. Some of the content is super triggering.
