Recensione:
"Although Your Voice in My Head begins with her near death, it is ultimately about living... A remarkably honest account of mental health and heartbreak. To her credit, Forrest presents herself as a conflicted, often contrary, young woman, and is happy to give credit to others for helping turn her life around, a stark contrast to the glut of memoirs preaching self-reliance that are trendy these days."
—National Post
"Quite amazing... I'm tempted to describe the memoir as a small masterpiece, although it might be something more."
—Edmonton Journal
"Forrest is stylish and evocative; whether she is sick and listless in New York or sex-dipped and radiantly happy in Los Angeles, she writes it cool, clever and ravaging, in very few strokes."
—The Globe and Mail
"Intensely personal... Forrest's shockingly funny observations are one of the strengths of her writing."
—Maclean's
"Her style is more honest and witty than harrowing... It's difficult to write a convincing tale of depression that's also an entertaining romp, but Forrest has done it."
—The Sunday Times
"Smart and frequently witty... there are echoes of early Lorrie Moore in her ability to lampoon the precise detail that tells you all you need to know about a character or situation. [The book] dances along with all the lyrical panache of a novel... Forrest's memoir is frank and acute."
—Julie Myerson, The Observer
Advance Praise:
"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
"There is a playful beauty to Emma Forrest's voice. Though her memoir is a portrait of a badly sprained soul, Your Voice in my Head is, at its heart, an honest love letter to life."
—Billie Livingston, author of Greedy Little Eyes
"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
