![]() ![]() ![]() I listened to it pretty much all in one sitting. Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting? I loved Matt Haig's performance and it meant more to me that this personal account was read by the person who lived through it to tell the tale. ![]() ![]() What about Matt Haig’s performance did you like? To someone living with depression, the strength, patience, understanding and LOVE shown by our nearest and dearest is astounding, especially in those times when depression wears its ugliest face. And, above all, I would recommend this book because Matt reassures us, in a calm and resounding voice, that depression does lift and that we will feel joy again.Īndrea was my favourite character, just as my partner is my favourite person in the world. This book is brave and terribly personal and it reassured me to know that I am not the only person to struggle as I do. Primarily, I would recommend this book to friends suffering with their own mental health battles because Matt Haig's words give us permission to feel like normal, natural human beings again, despite and because of the struggle that is depression. Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?įirstly, I would recommend this to people who don't suffer with mental illness but who want a better understanding of those who do. ![]()
