Think of it this way: while most books on depression try to help you win the war, this one is merely a cigarette in the trenches.

She admits that she is the last person to be giving advice and yet she gives it on coping with depression. This is one of those memoirs that I'm drawn to and enjoy reading. Gives me hope and makes me feel less alone. Plus humor in depression is great (some times. Some times it masks far too much).
I thought I'd find this interesting...after all, I'm a psychologist & suffer from depression myself. But...I didn't like it. I didn't find it funny. So...not the book for me!
However, that being said, I do think it's important that folks share their experiences of mental illnesses. It aids in understanding & reduces stigma. So I'm glad that she shared her experiences!
Oh snap- did I write a book in law school and forget all about it? Seems possible...
