This book hit me so hard I was not ready. The way that Ryan writes is just mind blowing. I have never read a book that talks about depression and grief in such a raw way that has such a body positive and therapy positive lens on it. I do think this book could be very triggering to people and as someone who thought I would be okay after reading the triggers there were parts of this story that were so raw and real I had to put the book down.
