And you always want to make people feel less alone.
Ever wondered how a book can change your life? In this engaging episode of Right Turn Radio, bestselling author Matthew Quick sits down with hosts Jon Cohan, Abby Dean, and Woody Giessmann to discuss his novel 'Every Exquisite Thing'. The story revolves around a teen who breaks free from her predictable life after reading a cult classic handed to her by a beloved teacher. But it's not just about the book.
Quick opens up about his own struggles with mental health during his teen and early adult years, describing his experience of 'white knuckling it' through those challenging times. He shares how he transitioned from someone who constantly felt the need to 'fake it' to someone who embraced authenticity. This candid conversation touches on the power of literature to inspire personal growth and the critical role of mental health support in schools.
