David Magee’s *A Little Crazy* is a candid and heartfelt exploration of personal struggles with addiction, mental health, and grief, all while navigating a journey toward redemption. Magee’s openness about his battles with ADHD, anxiety, and depression provides a relatable and necessary voice in breaking stigma around these challenges. While his recovery and advocacy work are inspiring, the narrative sometimes feels overly polished, losing the raw emotional depth that made *Dear William* so impactful. Still, Magee’s message about resilience, faith, and the importance of seeking help is valuable, making this a worthwhile read for those in search of hope and guidance. 3 stars.
In A Little Crazy, David Magee presents a raw, intimate account of his personal struggles with mental illness and addiction and the effects it has had on his life and family. He reveals not only his own battles but also how these issues impact those closest to him. Magee’s writing is candid and honest, and his narrative makes it clear that living with mental illness often brings chaotic highs and crushing lows. However, I really struggled with the lack of structure and narrative arc, and I didn’t find the author as relatable as I expected to.
