I received a copy from Andrews McMeel Publishing through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
I picked this up because it’s a look into one person’s neurodivergent experience with life, mental health, and burnout. As a neurodivergent person, I thought it was an excellent book to pick up. It was great to see Bex Ollerton (aka @Schnumn on Instagram) share their experiences with Autism, ADHD, anxiety, and depression. I could feel their emotions coming through the pages, which is quite bleak at times. I think that this is an important read because it’s very enlightening and relatable for many, but I think that you’ll be okay if you don’t go in expecting a light and fluffy read.
The artwork is beautiful. I also really like that they used art as their way to share their experiences. Reading about Bex’s feelings and experiences spiked my anxiety at times, but I think it’s an excellent read. I don’t know if I would say this was uplifting like it was mentioned in the summary, but it certainly is relatable. If you’re looking for a light pick-me-up read, this is not the book for you. It’s not all bleak, but Bex shares a lot about their struggles with their mental health, which isn’t always always something bright and happy.
