It's a book of grief and anxiety, of questions and confessions. One that explores the way pain and anxiety can be simultaneously public and private, constant but not always at the top of a person's mind. A book that asks: what if the words we angrily (or drunkenly) tap out on our phones, that we save as notes, or send to ex lovers, or post publicly on social media, the ones we send without bothering to correct for typos, are the words we mean the most?

Darcie Wilder's literally show me a healthy person is the new hero
in my reading life. This book is funny and wild and free. This book
is the future of writing.--Scott McClanahan
literally show me a healthy person reads like the schizo-monologue
of a young, wired maniac who's given up trying to figure out where
and why the fuck they are, why anything is what it is, why
anything. In here, all rules are off, all time is broken, and all
ideas are drugs. Who the hell writes like this about daily life?
Darcie Wilder does.--Blake Butler
