“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

“An intimate examination of the deep impact that mental health can have on one's life . . . I read both of Baek Sehee's books back to back, and from my perspective, they're two parts of a whole. To fully understand Baek Sehee's reckoning with her mental health, you have to read both memoirs.” —Book Riot
