This book came at a great time when my depression is at its strongest. I feel so much right now. I was diagnosed with pcos, mdd, anxiety, & struggling with my eating disorder all around the same year. It is a never ending battle. I have always been emotional. Without books,therapy, group therapy, & the few relationships I've been able to maintain I would not be here. I see myself reflected in many of the characters. I don't know if I will ever be able to or capable of being in a fulfilling romantic relationship, married, have children, or be happy. I am always working hard to not be a burden. I know not everyone understands or can handle issues of the mind and heart. I eternally wish for someone to love me and see me. To stay even with all my struggles as I do for everyone else. I've been better but need things to improve in certain aspects. I deserve to be happy. I look upon ganesh to overcome obstacles again & again. Thank you for this wonderful book I binged farah.
