Critics Review

A remarkable and moving book on male mental illness, anorexia and recovery. It’s frank, funny and honest and should be read by all young men and their families and friends; by everyone, really. Please read - it’s a brave and open book that could change the life of someone struggling with mental health issues. – Michael Maitland, author of Out Of The MadhouseA searingly honest depiction of the messy and cruel nature of eating disorders which is so greatly needed in a world of great misunderstandings and stereotypes. Thank goodness for Dave; he tells his invaluable story with humour and tongue in cheek charm making for an impactful yet hilariously entertaining read. – Eve Simmons, Deputy Health Editor Mail On Sunday
