A Lit Hub's "Most Anticipated" --
"I had a compulsive relationship with No One Gets to Fall Apart. Once I opened this brilliant memoir, I needed to finish it. When I wasn't reading, I was thinking about Sarah LaBrie's story, turning over in my mind her most devastating observations about motherhood, madness, and creativity. This book is stunning, one of the best memoirs I've read in a decade. No One Gets to Fall Apart deserves a place alongside modern classics like Jeannette Walls' The Glass Castle and Tara Westover's Educated." -- Susannah Cahalan, New York Times bestselling author of Brain on Fire and The Great Pretender
"This is a brilliant memoir about what we inherit and what we create; what disappears and what remains. Full of intelligence and rueful humor, No One Gets to Fall Apart is a triumph of every kind of literary perseverance." -- Lorrie Moore, author of ?I Am Homeless If This Is Not My Home
"[A] spellbinding debut.... With unflinching honesty ('I am so terribly sick of cannibalizing my life for art') and lyrical prose, LaBrie elegantly captures the grunt work of self-acceptance." -- Publishers Weekly
"Across this haunting, harrowing and at times rollicking account, [Sarah LaBrie] is forced in turn to frame a part, a role, a life amidst chaos. And she does so with a grace and a thoughtfulness worthy of her hero Walter Benjamin." -- Lawrence Weschler, author of Mr. Wilson's Cabinet of Wonder
"Readers will be treated to a meandering and wise discussion of the past's coloring of our futures, and how to carve the best path forward even through pain and rupture." -- Literary Hub
"LaBrie's spellbinding prose is a metaphysical experience: cinematic, poetic, philosophical, and wholly stunning. If psychiatric disability has impacted your life, or if you've ever been lonely, or if you enjoy having exceptional writing light up your brain, this book is an essential gift. It's that rare gem that somehow holds dazzling intertextual craft and prodigiously tender honesty in equal turn, to sublime effect. This memoir will never leave me." -- Alissa Nutting, author of Made for Love and Tampa
