BATB score: 10/10 heart 🤍
Best to: Matt Haig wrote about his depression back when he had depression from 24-32 y/o (1999-2007); unfortunately, today (2022), at 47 y/o his depression is back. Matt Haig shared on his instagram “earlier this year I nearly died by suicide because I knew I would never be happy again” September 2022
Best as: the first time I read this book I was trying to understand my friends who have depression about how depression really feels like; re-reading this book today when I am now struggling with depression, it feels so comforting to know you have someone else that is struggling just like you
BATB lingering thought: I thought that reading this book would have prepared me for depression yet it is way scarier, way sadder, way more inhibiting than what stories could describe
Best for: everyone and anyone out there who sees this ❤️🩹
Best quote: “But in the end one needs more courage to live than to kill himself.”
