Dylin is so open with their story, I hope they write another memoir when they are older. Dylins writing is absolutely spectacular.
A book I have read and fallen in love with before and was able to do all over again.
Sophie has not just simply put pen to paper but she has created art with her words. The book is so beautifully written and is an incredible insight into a life lived and fought for.

Still such a beautiful book and always worth picking up
THIS BOOK HAS SERIOUSLY SAVED MY LIFE.
I originally found out about running like China through Sjana Earp, and I couldn't wait to read it after she semi reviewed it. This book follows Sophie Hardcastle's battle with bipolar disorder. Her journey through thick dark clouds and blissful moments of sunshine is incredibly inspirational. I have read this book about 3 times and it has honestly changed my life. Sophie has become my biggest inspiration, her beautiful words and creative imagery is what makes this book more then the rest.
From someone who suffers from mental illness I can't thank sophie enough for finding the courage to write this book. Whenever I'm feeling down and need something to help push me through I open this book and read her inspiring words of experience and wisdom. I recommend this book to everyone, please read it.

This started off very powerful however towards the end started to repeat itself. The sentence "running like china" and how it doesn't make sense because you can't run like china was repeated more times then needed through out the book. Little things like that had me skimming this a bit
This memoir was so beautifully written and raw. Sophie writes about the highs and lows of battling mental illness. I found myself relating to her own thoughts and feelings on some of the things she was experiencing daily.
I would recommend this book for everyone, for the people who are battling mental illness to know they are not alone and for people who know of someone with mental illness to give them an understanding of what that person may be feeling

Such a beautifully written memoir. Although Sophie discusses very dark times in her life, the book is written with hope and encouragement to anyone struggling with mental illness. Sophie's writing is descriptive and poetic, and her pain is translated across the page. Sometimes hard to read but worth it, I devoured this in a few hours and would recomend to anyone struggling with or impacted by mental health issues.
