This raw read places you intimately close to the confessional inner monologue of Marcus, as he navigates relationships and human connection while battling the anxiety-spirals of his mental health condition. Alternating between the voice of Marcus as a funny, brash yet vulnerable personal trainer aged 19, and his poetic, but medicated, 25 year old self, you'll be left floored by the book's wounded authenticity and emotional intensity.
Listen, I used to think all church was suspect. I used to think like, if the devil is the biggest liar, how you know he ain't the one you're praying to? Actually, not all church. For some reason I had this soft spot for Catholic Church, I don't even know why, but it called to me, telling me to come through and sit down and just chat to God. I didn't think you could do that with them other typsa Christianity, I just thought they were all about the P's. The idea of confession made sense to me as well. In fact, you know what, I think that's what it is, that's what I liked about them Catholic churches, that you could just sit in that cubicle or whatever and just say what's on your mind or show dem what's heavy on your heart.
