Welcome to Litsy!

feels like this was designed to be an easy read & emotionally soothing, but it lingers on the idea of suicide & regret without fully honoring the complexity of depression.
at times, it felt more dismissive than healing.
though the writing stays calm & hopeful, it could be a tough read if you‘re emotionally vulnerable.
Nonetheless, I love self-help fiction with a bit of magic realism #magicrealism #hopeful #audiobooks #bibliophile #librarybooks

Of all the quotes from the greatest philosophical minds you‘ll find in this book, my favorite is what Matt Haig himself wrote: “ it is quite the revelation that the place you wanted to escape to is the exact place you escaped from. That the prison wasn‘t the place, but the perspective.”

I am so glad that @amandalewey recommended this book! I usually read murder mysteries and scary stories so this was a nice change of pace. It really made me stop and think about life and regrets and all of the things. Love! ❤️
