By the Creator of Big Boys: Cheer the F**K Up: How to Save your Best Friend

I loved this book. It's written so beautifully and sweetly, with an honest intention to inform and help people in a real and practical way. The book does a good job of suggesting professional services, but never takes away the human element of taking care of ourselves and our loved ones.This doesn't take away from how funny the book is - offering both light touches and full-on laugh-out-loud moments. I imagine this would also be great as an audiobook, as it has such a unique and personal voice. Maybe I'll try that next!

Honestly one of the best books I have ever read. Hilarious, sad, honest, insightful - I really enjoy Jack's writing style and felt gripped. The book arrived at 1pm today and I just finished it as couldn't put it down.

I bought this after watching the tv show Big Boys. It was a really good read both hilarious and helpful.

A good read, made me smile but not laugh out loud.

Being fortunate not to have lost either parent and with a presumption I had little in common with the author I was pleasantly surprised by how engrossed I became in this book. Jack’s writing style and approach is unique that captivated me from the first chapter. His heart warming recount of his early life and especially feeling I found more common ground than I, at first, anticipated.I loved the fact that scattered throughout where tips tricks and view points on how to deal not only with your own mental wellbeing but also how to act, respond, listen and support others whom may be going through something in their life.

This has to be one of the most accessible easy reading books written on such an important topic. I also recommend the very well narrated audiobook. Jack's story can sometimes be heartbreaking to read but his attitude towards life is inspirational. The old cliche of "made me laugh and cry" has never been more true.. sometimes over the course of two lines! He has an obvious passion to make life better for people and I truly believe he has succeeded in that with this book. Whether it helps a reader back from the brink, gives someone the confidence to offer support to a friend, helps one to better understand their own sexuality or makes dealing with the loss of someone close more manageable I have no doubt everyone who reads this will take something away - I certainly have. I listened to this as an audiobook which prompted me to buy the hardcover for reference and lending to friends.

An absolutely fantastic true, funny, sad, considered, factual, gets you in the ‘feels’ biography.Please read it.

Interesting read after watching the tv seriesI did enjoy it but realise that it won’t be everyone’s cup of tea.

Could not put it down. Thank you for sharing your story and I hope it gives people the courage to talk
