what makes this book so good is that it doesn’t try to be inspiring, yet the story itself is so impactful it creates a beautiful narrative. veeery good read, i just wish it had a bit more on how the author overcame the trauma— there was a lot of background information (which i liked) but then we teleport to harvard and success. i would have really enjoyed to read about the personal process, mindset shift, and just the little steps that got her to where she is today.

i don’t understand the hype. the book is repetitive and the conclusion is that depression doesn’t exist, you just have to be grateful because your life could be worse! hell no. the only reason as to why i give it two stars and not one is that i liked the way it was written. matt haig really knows how to tell a story, but when the whole plot is the same thing over and over again it’s just boring.
