"I wanted to know what it was like to be a drug addict, and have an eating disorder, and have a loved one die, and fall in love. I saw my friends going through these things, I saw the world going through these things, and I needed to understand them. I needed to make sense of them. Books didnâ€™t make me wallow in darkness, darkness made me wallow in books, and it was books that showed me there is light at the end of the tunnel."
