Ok so I enjoyed this. I found it nicely life affirming. But it encapsulated my problem with Matt Haig and my feeling that he doesn't necessarily recognise the privileged vantage point from which he writes about mental health.

I get it - the point is living. And it's perspective rather than where you actually are. She goes back to the crap life. But she has potential. And lots of her issues are of her own making. She makes the decision not to see her life as crap anymore. Lots of people can't do that. The shift in perspective is too big. Not everyone has the materials (physical or mental) to do so. And I know it's not a self help book, but it doesn't feel a necessarily responsible way to write about being depressed.
