Reviews

I don't read a lot of memoirs, but this was really lovely. The tone of voice was very passive as it recounted some very difficult events that anyone with mental health issues will easily relate to. I loved the splash of dark humor thrown in for good measure. Although the issues of mental health are serious, Larson's tone of voice was incredibly supportive bringing in quotes and antidotes from our everyday lives. The title ties in so well the experiences and advice offered in the book. Outstanding read! Aimee uses her whit and real-life experiences. Aimee does not hesitate to share with the readers of her struggles with mental illness and bullying. I loved reading her emotional journey on how she learned to achieve both a personal and professional life.
