Reminded me of [b:Goodbye, Vitamin|27746288|Goodbye, Vitamin|Rachel Khong|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1509043032l/27746288._SX50_.jpg|47727087]. The way this was written was very much like a string of journal entries, but I think it worked.

3.5/3.75 stars

Authentic and raw representation of mental illness, very funny at parts, but also a bit too long. Also the tense/pov would randomly change which was quite confusing to me... sometimes first person, sometimes second.

"Because when suffering is unavoidable, the only thing one gets to choose is the backdrop. Crying one's eyes out beside the Seine is vastly better than crying one's eyes out while traipsing around Hammersmith."
