I Was Smiling The Whole Time In Line... - Tumblr Posts

It arrived!! (I’d preordered months ago and forgotten, so now I have a surprise book on the top of my to read pile)

i love u so much. this is so unreal for me.

today it's real. after like 3 years and a lot of editing and lot of crying... body's a bad monster.

i wanted to make a book that actually talked about the reality of mental illness without being a gore-fest. anything violent or said by abusers is blacked out in this book. it is a survivor story that's actually about the survivor instead of about the trauma. this is a book where i trust my audience to be like, so cool about things.

i love u all and this book is an act of love. i hope u like it, genuinely, even tho it's a weird, fucked up little book that is incredibly hard to explain to other people.
