The author has suffered all her life with anxiety and depression but the eighteen months after her divorce involved a frightening depth of depression that left her willing to try anything. So she began an experimental trial that required ten treatments using Propofol to flat-line brain activity for short amounts of time. In essence, she was resetting her brain. She details this experience along with how she got to that point in this book. I had never heard of this author before, but apparently she became well known as the "mommy blogger." I found her tone of writing entirely engaging and I read this book in less than a day. She has a good sense of humor and a healthy appreciation of her mom and stepfather who dedicated many hours to her treatment. I do not think that she always did a great job of putting into words what it actually feels like to be depressed, a trait that I find with many memoirs of depression. It is just too hard of a thing to translate into words, but I did find this memoir fascinating in the lengths she was willing to go to to find hope for herself. I received a digital ARC of this book through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
