The blurb describes this book pretty accurately. After meeting The Royals, Bryony accidentally offered to run a marathon for Heads Together charity, who helps people suffering from mental health issues. I really loved how brutally honest and funny this memoir was. Bryony tells the reader the darkest and most shameful events of her life with pride! I think many people can relate to Bryony and her life lessons in one way or another. She openly speaks about her weight, OCD, depression, personal life struggles as well as her achievements with Mental Health Mates, her interview with Prince Harry and finishing the marathon.

Bryony talks a lot about mental health in this book, sometimes it did feel a little bit too much for me. I do understand the importance of it, but it got a little bit repetitive at times. I really liked the way it was written, it feels like an old friend, telling her life story, Bryony is unapologetic and states the facts the way they are. This book carries plenty of foul language, alcohol, strange relationships, and it was an absolute joy to read. 😀 I found the chapters to be a little bit too long for my liking, but because they were really funny, the book didn’t drag to me.

So, to conclude, I know that I learned a lot from Bryony. I learned that many people suffer from mental health issues, even though it is hard to see it with a naked eye. Bryony offers few easy and simple ways how to deal with those pesky demons, and enjoy your life as much as you can. I really enjoyed this memoir, and I hope you will give this book a try when you are looking for some inspiration.

Hugely engaging storyline
Innovative concept, executed well
New Favourite Book. Yes, Of All Time.
This book has taken the top spot of my favourite book, possibly ever. I loved the storyline, the concept, the characters and how they developed, how well I could relate as a woman to the characters. Everything wa just incredible.

The film reflects what its like to live with mental health issues without glamourising it and how society deal with it. Its dark and reflective of events today. (1 more)
The Batverse is touched on but it doesn't take over. Joaquin Phoenix is amazing as is De niro.
If you are expecting a Batman film you will be disappointed. In places its uncomfortable to watch. (0 more)
A must watch.

Favourite series of AHSffirstly there
Firstly some really good acting here to make the characters believable especially when you may of seen season one and seen some of them in different roles. The way this has been put together to cover mental health in a grim but not sensilating way is also good as it can be cringeworthy when you see people with physical disabilities used.
