"At once personal and universal, this book is about finding a path to awareness, understanding, and wisdom." -- Kirkus Reviews "Honest and authentic throughout . A sincere attempt at self-discovery that will resonate with young people who suffer from similar forms of depression and anxiety." -- Library Journal "Candid . heartfelt . Sehee's mission to normalize conversation about mental illness is an admirable one." -- Publishers Weekly "A testament to the gradual nature of therapy's cumulative healing effects, I Want to Die should resonate with anyone who eagerly transcribes every nugget of advice they get." -- Buzzfeed "Earnest .

clever . [Baek Sehee] uses months of (real) transcripts from her therapy sessions to explore her own depression and anxiety, always tiptoeing toward something like self-awareness." -- Chicago Tribune "An eye-opening view into a person's most vulnerable moments in a new way." -- Cosmopolitan "I like that this book's conversations don't follow a conventional narrative arc from conflict to redemption. Baek doesn't stand on a pedestal purporting to have found all the answers . Ultimately, there are no shiny promises that Baek will keep getting better; I appreciate her bravery to admit this to readers." -- Electric Lit "With candor and humor, Baek offers readers and herself resonant moments of empathy." -- Booklist.
