4.5 emotionally wrought stars for this book that completely broke my heart. 💔 How It Feels to Float was beautifully written and I was completely taken in by Biz. Oh, how I wanted to pull her out of the pages and just hug her. 💖

I loved the relationships Biz built with Jasper and Sylvia. Not at all what you'd expect, but simply perfect.

Helena Fox who also lives with mental illness expertly shared Biz's thoughts, reactions and feelings - pulling us into it all right along with her. You feel as if you are struggling through the depression, anxiety, PTSD, panic attacks and dissociative episodes right along with her. I found myself trying to make sense of it all just as Biz does.

This is not an easy or light hearted read. It's full of anguish, despair and emotion. You have to be ready for that. Yet, it was also filled with sparks of healing, love and hope. Though Biz struggled with many mental, emotional and physical issues she did find the support, acceptance and love she needed.

This is one of those books that remains with you long after you turn the last page.
