Corpsing: My Body and Other Horror Shows by Sophie White

challenging dark emotional hopeful reflective sad medium-paced

5.0

It's so difficult to articulate pain, but Sophie White knits it up into a wonderful wonky jumper. This book is so open and vulnerable, cliché as it sounds it's one of the bravest things I've ever read. Mental illness, motherhood, addiction, death, these messy subjects don't often lend themselves to neat description but every word is crafted to perfection so everyone can feel heard in these pages. Much of it will feel all too familiar to many of us, but it is comforting to see it formed into something almost beautiful.
