Yan Harris is VERY EXCITED. Well, of course she is. It’s summer, she’s got over her depression and she’s in London for a week with her BFF Chelsea. After seventeen years in a sleepy village where everybody just knows them as The Chinese One and The Brainy One… life is calling. It’s a pretty cool prospect… if Chel can stop worrying about online discourse in the Nordhelm TV fandom long enough to enjoy it. Chelsea’s worried about Yan, too, to Yan’s annoyance. Barely sleeping, barely eating, getting increasingly gobby, having an – ahem – close encounter in a toilet, giving a Tory MP a good kick in the shins, and running around kind of literally screaming…. well, it’s all just good summer fun, isn’t it? Isn’t it? In the desperate battle of Yan vs. bipolar disorder, does the poor disease really stand a chance? Written by an author who lives with bipolar herself, this is an hilarious and heart-warming friendship story with a fandom twist, perfect for fans of Holly Bourne and Alice Oseman. —- This book nails it—not just the vertiginous flights of bipolar, but also the pure joy of youth. Far from another droning mental health dirge, Bowles gives us a vibrant, witty, wonderfully weird narrator in Yan, in whose company we cannot help but see the beauty, and the power, of the sometimes disorderly mind. - Marya Hornbacher
