Glitterland
by Alexis Hall
Kinda got me in the feels here. As much work as we do to destigmatize mental illness, I also think we can make it all unicorns and hearts, and it isn’t.
ETA on reread, I just feel this book so much! Ash’s just giving up, and self-loathing, and remarkable self-centeredness that masquerades as self-deprecation (and vice versa). It puts me back, knowing how it feels to not want to keep going. And how long it took for me to be able to commit to this: “today is a day in which I will not want to die.”
I just feel so understood. and Im glad Alexis Hall keeps writing, with the humor and wisdom and grace that I feel characterize his work.
