As someone who has also experienced issues with suicide attempts, suicidal ideation and lost loved ones in this manner, I jumped at the chance to read this. I was hoping to find some insight or something. That’s not what I got. This was closer to a memoir than I was ready for. I was expecting this to be more scientific or research based mixed with personal experience but it’s mostly a wordy memoir, which is just not what I was prepared for. 

This isn’t something I would just recommend either. There is a considerable amount of triggering language in this book and if you’re in the throes of suicidal ideation this may read as a bit too relatable. 

I do wish this had taken a couple trips through an editor or something as the potential is there for this being a really powerful and helpful book, but in its present state I can’t say it’s effective (but that’s just my opinion as someone who has been there).

I don’t rate memoirs, but a rating is required on NetGalley so I’m going a neutral ⭐️⭐️⭐️
