I have to say that normally I would love any horse book but this series was just way to much 'he loves her' and 'I love him but he also loves me.' I just couldn't take it. So yay, I would recommend this to you if you love a book with loads of drama and lovey-dovey action, which clearly I don't.

I feel like lately I have been on here raving about well-written books that honestly depict mental illness, books that have had me nodding my head and writing down quotes and feeling so much less alone with what I go through. This is a great trend in book publishing and one that has come at a time for me when I especially need it, something I think holds true for a lot of people.

Life Inside My Mind is a collection of essays by thirty-one authors who have personal experience with mental show more illness. They share their deeply personal stories, to let people know they are not alone, and to reduce the stigma surrounding mental illness.
