“Quirky characters. The betting process builds up with a few shades exchanged among the challengers and finally with the winner collecting the winnings. Cigars around, brain analogy, and finally getting to the right university. Cool beans, Jason.”

“I liked how Jason explained all the different trials and tribulations in his journey to recovery. It was an honest, relatable, and sometimes funny memoir that I would recommend to someone who has a mood disorder or anyone who wants to see what it is like to live life with one. It is inspiring to see how success is still achievable despite carrying and fighting with a cruel illness.”

“I got a kick out of Jason Park’s story. He drew me into the setting, a cigar shop, where I got a strong sense of his eclectic characters. The tension builds as the story continues. And when the initial conflict is resolved, he moves on to a deeper meaning. Well done!”
