Description
Pip Lincolne wrote When Life is Not Peachy during some tough times of her own, in the hope that what she learned might help someone else feel a little better some day.
"Tough times dotted my life for a number of years, and there were moments I honestly wondered if I’d ever recover … the last few years included several deaths in the family, deaths of beloved pets, challenging mental and physical ill health and the breakdown of a difficult 23-year relationship. Oh my gosh it has been a lot. A lot to deal with. A lot of suffering. A lot of feelings," Pip writes.
This gentle guide for navigating loss, grief or other sad times, is a resource both for those who are downhearted and those supporting a loved one. With thoughtful advice on dealing with friends and family; healthy tips for eating and exercise when you don't feel like it; and a just-keep-yourself-going '101' for when you're feeling very low. It's the bolstering force we need to feel a bit closer to ourselves, or find a bit of peace.
"You may be experiencing lots of awful feelings and wondering what the heck you’re meant to do now. This book is here to help," Pip writes.
When Life is Not Peachy is the book form of a friend’s comforting hug, delivered by someone who has been there too and made it through to the other side.

This book is amazing!!
There is so much content within this book, and surprisingly a lot of the content is original. A lot of the times with books like this it's the same old stuff (meditate, eat better, have a bath, sleep, try yoga etc.) but this book really does go into detail. (It did recommend a hot bath quite a lot though!!!)
There is so much to take away from this book, and I like the personal element to the book too. Pop Lincolne writes about her own story as well as recommending so many other things.
The only reason I haven't given this book 5*, is because I think the big chunks of writing might be a tad overwhelming if you are in the depths of depression. I know I personally struggle to read and focus for decent periods of time when I get in that state.
I thoroughly recommend this book. The layout is great, and the little boxes within each section are super useful. I really liked the section at the end with the playlist of uplifting and positive songs. I was lucky enough to be sent this book for an honest review, but since reading this electronic review copy; i have now ordered myself a physical copy for when it comes out!!!
YOU SHOULD TOO!!
Not only will this help you in a time of need, but it can also help you to be a pillar of support for a loved one. This is not a down-and-out book, but a positive look at recovering and getting yourself back on track.

A very practical and approachable advice book. This was definitely a hug in book form. Obviously it is aimed towards people who are going through a hard time but it really is a perfect pick me up for anyone with great guidance. I found Pips writing style very easy going and attainable but also very informative.
Unfortunately for some reason I did find the book difficult to read on my device for some reason, but still ploughed on and found it very insightful and helpful, I would recommend this to friends or family members who may feel that it would help them.
Thank you very much to NetGalley and publishers for the chance to experience this book in return for an honest review.
