"I've shared this book with countless friends over the last week and all are zooming through it as quickly as I did. We're hungry for this. For someone to validate our experience with empathy, compassion, and a genuineness that is palpable through each page."

"The understanding of mental illness and its impact on the person and their surrounding relationships as well as their journey of acceptance, endurance and advancement is palpable."

"I read a lot of mental health books, and very few memoirs have been as captivating as this. As a therapist-in-training, this book somehow manages to capture the nuance of a number of crucial issues - therapy being beneficial but therapist fit being crucial, the importance (but limits) of antidepressants and neurotransmitter deficiency hypotheses, gray areas of mental illness and alcohol intake wherein one does not meet full criteria for a diagnosis but is still suffering, and job burnout."

"I have seldom felt so "schooled" on mental illness, in general, and depression in particular. You have shed so much light on such an often hidden and complex issue."

"Miriam's writing never ceases to be something I can really relate to. She is helping people by speaking openly about hard topics. It certainly makes me feel less alone."

"Such a great read! I have been reading Miriam's blog for years so this was like talking with an old friend. It is a very honest and heart-felt and hopeful discussion of mental illness and what it has been like to work in a pandemic healthcare setting. Great memoir!"
