Reviews

'Emma Forrest is an incredibly gifted writer, who crafted the living daylights out of every sentence in this unforgettable memoir. I can't remember the last time I ever read such a blistering, transfixing story of obsession, heartbreak and slow, stubborn healing' Elizabeth Gilbert, author of Eat Pray Love 'Emma Forrest is as hilarious as she is wise. And did I mention generous? Unlike most memoirs this is not merely a song of oneself, but a debt of gratitude repaid to an incredible man. Your Voice in My Head is touching, funny and very real' Gary Shteyngart, author of Super Sad True Love Story 'It's difficult to write a convincing tale of depression that's also an entertaining romp, but Forrest has done it' Sunday Times 'Forrest's insightful and snappily-written account of her lengthy battles against depression, self-harm, relationships and potato-based fried snacks is heartfelt and touching and surprisingly funny. It's also wincingly, unflinchingly honest' Florence Welch, Dazed & Confused
