>The honesty of it just kills me. That is all I can really say. I have many people in my life suffering from depression; my dad suffered from alcoholism as well as depression, and it gives a lot of honest insight into what depression really is, and what it does to people. Fuck self-help books, your book doesn’t tell you how to manage things, it tells you what everything is like, mindset you have, everything. It is a vulnerable book in the way it is so honest. I know that sounds really gay but that is the feeling I get from a lot of it. Defeated and vulnerable, yet at the same time the reality of everything is just thrown at you without any fancy adjectives or what have you. It isn’t ‘let’s dress up a mental condition and tragic life events and form them into a romantic story that kids everywhere will aspire to emulate’.

>I don’t have to tell you what your book is, as so many bloggers have already reviewed it. But I am really greatful for it, and am giving it to my boyfriend to read because he is depressed and won’t admit it. I think maybe once he reads it he will be able to see a lot of himself and realize that maybe he needs to come to terms with some things and possibly get help if he wants to.
