Too Bright To Hear Too Loud To See by Juliann Garey

January 19, 2022 by Claudia 2 Comments

I always struggle with even rating books that are made more for being sad and discussing something difficult. Since I view reading as a form of entertainment its hard to rate pain as a kind of enjoyment. Juliann Garey takes us into the life and mind of Greyson Todd, a Hollywood studio exec with a wife and daughter whose life seems perfect except for the fact that Greyson has Bipolar 1 disorder. I went into this book completely blind, not knowing what it was about […]

December 30, 2021 by Nannerbears 1 Comment

Apologies in advance, and I hope I can be forgiven for the end-of-the-year review dump. I’ve had bits and pieces to say about the books I read but it never felt well-formed enough to tell others about them.

It’s about […]

Undiagnosed Mental Illness Will Wreck Your Life

Too Bright to Hear, Too Loud to See by Juliann Garey

February 25, 2019 by allisonata Leave a Comment

“…You are very lucky. Not everyone can feel things as deeply as you. Most people, their feelings are…bland, tasteless. They’ll never understand what it’s like to read a poem and feel almost like they’re flying, or to see a bleeding fish and feel grief that shatters their heart. It’s not a weakness, Grey. It’s what I love about you most.” Our man Greyson, a successful Hollywood executive with a wife and an eight-year-old daughter, has an undiagnosed mental illness. It’s an unescapable, nameless issue that […]
