Probably one of my favourite books I've read so far. I've made a choice not to lend my copy to anyone because I can't imagine not having it on my bookshelf to read whenever I want!

The author writes so frankly about mental illness and charts her experiences in vivid detail - its the kind of writing we need more, more, more of! While the subject matter can be difficult and I did have to put it down at some points for a day or so to process it, this book will never find its way off my To-Keep bookshelf

My third Sophie White this year, I saw her at the Kildare Reader’s Festival and got my copy signed.

What to say to give this justice. Sophie writes so raw and candidly on her experiences with grief, addiction, mental illness, being a mother, and womanhood. There were essays that made me laugh, made me cry, made me put the book down for a moment, and also say wtf did I just read.

A challenging read, but so very worthwhile. Life is a journey, and many facets we must face.
