Cute, but know that it's to be taken as a stereo-typical hot mess version of therapy and offers little day to day tips to get through life. Authors have Buzzfeed backgrounds, so go into this ready for a little humor and snark- not actually looking for deep mental therapy help.

The subtitle here gives away the content: “Semi-capitalist solutions to your emotional problems.” That said, it is full of practical wellness and self-care ideas that really don’t cost a lot but can have big impact on mental health. There are some typos and unfinished bits that make me suspect the book was a bit of a rush job—but the content gets better as it goes on. Thankfully, they end the book with a ringing (and deeply honest) endorsement for real therapy.

Quirky and easy, this is the Crystal Lite version of DIY craft and self care guides. Borrow it from your library for a little amusing distraction.

If this book is meant to be a hot mess targeted at equally hot messes, it did its job. It's a quick, pleasant and relatable read but despite the well-meaning advice it occasionally provides, this 'therapy book' offers no real insight. It skims the surface of many things and jumps from one thing to the next abruptly. Even the quotes and illustrations are randomly placed with no connection to whatever the text is talking about. Give it some polishing and it could be great.
