#47 - Mental Health Rep in Fiction

Representation is so important! Last year I tackled plus size representation and today Hailey and I are discussing MENTAL HEALTH REP IN FICTION. We cover everything from why we believe it’s important, how to tell if it's a “good” representation, and of course we have some book recommendations.
