Breathtaking writing. Beautiful and life changing. Robert Rinder, Talk TV Highly recommended Robin Ince, broadcaster and writer Emotional and brilliant Hugo Rifkind, Times Radio A truly remarkable book Alastair Campbell, Former Downing Street Communications Director and mental health campaigner It's the unvarnished truth on every page and is enormously powerful.
