Are We All Lemmings and Snowflakes? By Holly Bourne

The importance of kindness to others, and ourselves: especially the bits we don’t like. Olive has a diagnosis, but she doesn’t want to know what it is, although it’s enough to get her a place at Camp Reset, a summer camp with a programme for people with mental illnesses.

Olive and the friends she makes go through some super low times. You watch them self-sabotage, and that’s tough, but you also watch them heal through therapy and friendship. In classic Holly Bourne style, I was laughing the whole way through. She strikes the perfect balance of light and dark. 

“It’s okay to not be okay, as long as you don’t stay that way.” 

This is a book for anyone struggling with #mentalhealth #anxiety #depression #bipolar #friendship #intervention
