With a New Afterword by the Author
“By turns hilarious and heartbreaking, Hannah Hart’s new book is a roaring, beautiful, and profoundly human account of an extraordinary life.” —John Green
“Hannah shares her truth with an honesty that is inspiring—one that makes me believe her when she says that it’s going to get better or that laughter is just around the corner or that you aren’t alone.” —Jenny Lawson, #1 New York Times–bestselling author of Let’s Pretend This Never Happened and Furiously Happy
“The topics are grim, but there is kindness in her story, and, most significantly, humor. Fans will be pleased that other stars such as comedian Grace Helbig make guest appearances, and, like a true role model, Hart uses her platform to raise awareness of the shortcomings of the current U.S. medical system in treating mental health.” —Publishers Weekly

Fantastic book! But I recommend it with a warning, be careful when you start reading because you might not stop reading until you've reached the end and suddenly it's many hours later than you started. This book took me to emotional highs and lows and spoke to my h(e)art . It was not only well written and drew me in but it also inspired me as well. It was real, it felt like reading someone's journal but not in an intrusive way, but rather that I was invited to it. I appreciate Hannah's willingness to be vulnerable, I think it's what made the book so thoroughly enjoyable.

Couldn't put it down. Mostly I read to make myself sleepy but that did not happen here. 0 stars on that account. However, as a longtime fan I am now even more amazed by this woman and all she has accomplished in the face of such steep odds and difficult circumstances. Her dogged determination is an inspiration and I am grateful for the chance to know her better.

Not what I was expecting at all from the punny and lovable youtuber. But incredibly heartfelt and brave. I felt like a friend listening to someone needing to unload and connect. Thanks for that gift of letting us connect with you Hannah and reminding us that even though life is uniquely hard for all of us there are mutiple ways to preserver.
