I was very disappointed with this book. I also have bipolar II, have been in recovery for both an eating disorder and self-harm just like the author. I got the book because I was looking to relate to someone else who was/had gone through many of the things that come about when dealing with bipolar II, self-harm , and an eating disorder. I found little relatable grounds because I felt she skipped out on diving into the true depths and complexities of these disorders and maladaptive coping mechanisms. Instead, I found myself skimming over sections because I wanted to be reading more about her cutting, the reasons she did so, why she stopped, and the therapy she went through and more about her bipolar II. A bulk of this book covers her "geographicals," moving every other two chapters. I love memoirs but this book had trouble keeping my attention and I got nothing out of reading it.
