Anyone who calls this book "fun" and "humorous" has never suffered depression in my opinion. Or I just didn't understand the humor in this. Nothing in this book screamed fun and humor to me. I liked the book tho. But it was painful, dark and a really really powerful punch to the face for the first half. Because this hit me hard. I barely made it to the part where the hopeful and uplifting theme begins to shine through and I haven't had a depressive phase in almost 8 years. I liked the ending even if it was very predictable. It also feels kinda preachy at times.

I didn't know what to expect, but I'm amazed by this concept. I wish I read it instead of listened just to have more time to reflect on everything. Instead I just had to have quiet time after every couple chapters in the car. But it's a heavy subject with a hopeful twist and definitely a reread.
