I've read this book over the course of a few months and I've had ups and downs in those times in my own battle with mental illness and it didn't matter when I read it, it still made me smile and feel hopeful for the future :)

Topics like depression and anxiety are very difficult to write about, especially through your own experience. Personally, I enjoyed the beginning of this when I picked it up and I was down. Hearing someone else's perspective on the same issue makes you feel better somehow. I loved how easy and light-paced this book was. It was very simplified, but I felt like it covered most of it. Also, learned some very interesting facts, which won't be easily forgotten. (But, I hate to say this some chapters actually did increase my anxiety).

This could be a great read for people who aren't really familiar with depression and anxiety (especially anxiety). For others, like me, who are looking for a break from the 'Fiction' world, could turn to this. It was a nice breather, and not a waste of time!
