Fast read.
The style is a little unusual because it’s written like she’s actually spending an hour just sitting with you and telling you about her life. So it jumps around a bit and has a very conversational tone to it.
I enjoyed it for the stories she told and also the demystifying of mental illness. She really brings it down to a level of “this is a real illness and nothing to be ashamed of” and also talks about how easily misdiagnosed they are.
