emotional hopeful reflective medium-paced

3.25

The concept was cool, but in practice, I didn’t like how the book was arranged. Each chapter was a random combination of commentary and conversation, making it hard to follow at times, and it was unclear what the timing of the sessions looked like relative to each other. Also, the last chapter suddenly switched gears into short essays, which I didn’t like. Additionally, as a therapist myself, Sehee’s therapist was giving so much advice and perspective packaged as truth that I did not agree with.

Written by a 20 something Korean woman about her struggles with depression & self-judgment. A helpful read for cross cultural mental health issues.

4.5

Interesting and relatable and hopeful book! 

Defo recommend to anyone struggling with mental health issues or you have a mental illness or if you just want to find out more about mental health and what it is like living with certain illnesses. 

Haven’t read a memoir in a long time but glad I managed to finish this!

Also, the title of this book is perfect 😹👏🏽
