A love letter to those of us who spend life trying to win a wrestling match against our minds – Spargo-Ryan writes mental illness as I have never read it before, walking us through the unreliability of memory and the unexplainable agony of anxiety to tell her story. A Kind of Magic is a deeply honest, hilarious and compassionate book; if you have an anxious brain, it will make you feel deeply seen – if you love someone with anxiety, it will allow you to see and love them more fully.
