Find hope in dark times
When I feel like I'm going mad, I write.
A lot of my worst fears have come true - fears that felt so big I could barely hold them in my head. I was convinced that when they happened, the world would end.
But the world didn't end. In fact, it pushed on and demanded to keep spinning through all sorts of mayhem, and I got through it. And because I persisted, I learned lessons about how to be a stronger, kinder, better human - lessons you can learn only by going through these sorts of things.
This is for the people with minds that just don't stop; for those who feel everything a thousand times more than others around them.
Here are some words I wrote.
Features versions of dodie's songs recorded exclusively for the audiobook and includes a live version of 'She' from her 2017 UK tour.

Add 8 fresh, well seasoned narrators.
Pour in a pint and a half of honesty, a few glasses of your preferred poison, and lots of water.
Add several large laughs.
Slowly stream in 2-3 facefulls of tears.
Add a poached egg for no real reason.
Top with a generous amount of cheese, grated, oh go on, more than that!
Portion into 57 glorious chapters, interlaced with a handful of your favourite songs.
Stew over a medium warm feeling of listening to a great friend that you've never even met, for 4 hours and 36 minutes, until you're just about melting at the edges.
Best served with tea. A proper good mug of tea.
Give it a like, if you liked it, if you like. :P
Enjoy.
A rare treat to devour.

It is so cool and innovative that the song lyrics in the book are actually sung, which actually breaks the book up quite nicely :)
really good :)

I was not familiar with dodie before I bought this - and to be honest, some of the book was a but young for me (I need a middle-aged dodie giving me advice on feeding my family when one kid is suddenly vegan and the other only eats white food) - but I loved it anyways.
I have kids just coming into adolescence in a world completely changed by social media and the interwebs. and I like to think I am pretty "with it", but also I'm 39 and my days of gigs and late nights and dating are (thankfully) behind me. This collection of stories and advice and songs was like a bridge between their world and mine. a reminder that while many things have changed, a lot of things are the same.
Plus the songs were lovely.
stunning and unique
