The tone balances dark humor with accountability, which is hard to pull off but powerful when done well.” – Readers' Favorite, five-star review“With ‘I’ll Try Anything Twice,’ Carly Schwartz has created a coming-of-age story for modern times. From the jungles of Central America to co-living in San Francisco, from the arid Burning Man Playa to the excesses of Silicon Valley — all experienced through a lens of treatment-resistant depression — this book is a primer on the costs of escape and the benefits of radical self-honesty. The best memoirs hold up a mirror not just to an author but also to a culture at large. ‘I'll Try Anything Twice’ achieves both. It’s a story for anyone longing for connection in these disconnected times.” – Hope Edelman, New York Times bestselling author of “Motherless Daughters”
