I’ll read anything Emily Austin writes - she can send me her grocery lists and I’d still be enthralled, I’m sure.
The style of this book would be complicated as an audiobook, so I’m glad I read the hard copy.
I wish everyone who doesn’t deal with mental illness could read this and understand anxiety/depression. I related so strongly to so many of the things she dealt with, but other aspects made me frustrated. That’s how I know it’s real - I had moments of “all you have to do is ____!!” Followed by immediately thinking “oooooh how many times have I told myself the same, or been told the same?”
This was a great vacation read. Not uplifting, but real.
