Judges Hilary and John Mitchell commented:
“This memoir is significant for its portrayal of universal themes: the struggle for mental wellness and the search for identity. The journal structure creates a strong sense of immediacy allowing feelings and state of mind to demand a response. The language is clear, precise and beautiful. Although traversing these difficult, confronting, sometimes discomforting subjects could easily descend into mawkish or maudlin self-pity, the tone never wavers. The impact of the author’s searing honesty and her tight control of her material is powerful and compelling. A truly amazing book.”
