Late in the night, 14-year-old Sam Watson steps onto a quiet overpass, climbs over the rail and looks down at the road far below. At the other end of the same bridge, an old man, Vic, smokes his last cigarette. The two see each other across the void. A fateful connection is made, and an unlikely friendship blooms. Slowly, we learn what led Sam and Vic to the bridge that night. Bonded by their suffering, each privately commits to the impossible task of saving the other.

If you found The Amazing Book is Not on Fire at least mildly interesting, or even if you didn't read it at all, then you will love our audiobook! Not only do you get us sensually narrating the whole thing in your ears, but there are over three hours of exclusive behind-the-scenes commentary on the book, and irrelevant Dan and Phil banter straight from our mouths to your ears! Who doesn't want that? Okay, that came out kind of weird, but trust us you'll like it. I guess we have to rephrase the blurb..?

To be our best selves, we must become secure in our insecurities. In The Hidden Power of F*cking Up, The Try Guys - Keith, Ned, Zach and Eugene - reveal their philosophy of trying: how to fully embrace fear, foolishness, and embarrassment in an effort to understand how we all get paralyzed by a fear of failure. They'll share how four shy, nerdy kids have dealt with their most poignant life struggles by attacking them head-on and reveal their - ahem - sure-fail strategies for achieving success.

Story5 out of 5 stars 15
Sydney's dad is the only psychiatrist for miles around their small Ohio town. He is also unexpectedly dead. Is Sydney crazy, or is it kind of weird that her dad - a guy whose entire job revolved around other peoples' secrets - crashed alone, with no explanation? And why is June Copeland, homecoming queen and the town's golden child, at his funeral? As the two teenagers grow closer in the wake of the accident, it's clear that not everyone is happy about their new friendship. But what is picture-perfect June still hiding? And does Sydney even want to know?

The Carls disappeared the same way they appeared, in an instant. While they were on Earth, they caused confusion and destruction without ever lifting a finger. Well, that's not exactly true. Part of their maelstrom was the sudden viral fame and untimely death of April May. Months later, the world is as confused as ever. As each character gets further down their own path, a series of clues arrive - mysterious books that seem to predict the future and control the actions of their readers, unexplained internet outages and more - which seem to suggest April may be very much alive.

Publisher's Summary
Random House presents the audiobook edition of Secrets for the Mad by dodie, read by dodie, Joshua Edwards, Hazel Hayes, Jack Howard, Daniel J. Layton, Sammy Paul, Benjamin Redwood and Rebecca Fortuin.
Find hope in dark times
When I feel like I'm going mad, I write.
A lot of my worst fears have come true - fears that felt so big I could barely hold them in my head. I was convinced that when they happened, the world would end.
But the world didn't end. In fact, it pushed on and demanded to keep spinning through all sorts of mayhem, and I got through it. And because I persisted, I learned lessons about how to be a stronger, kinder, better human - lessons you can learn only by going through these sorts of things.
This is for the people with minds that just don't stop; for those who feel everything a thousand times more than others around them.
Here are some words I wrote.
Features versions of dodie's songs recorded exclusively for the audiobook and includes a live version of 'She' from her 2017 UK tour.

Dodie is honestly my hero. This book has dragged me out of depressive episodes and many days and nights where I thought the world was ending. I don't know how to thank her enough.

Loved it.
Dodie is a wonderful story teller. In this book she is very open and honest about many different parts of her life such as mental health, love, family/friendships/relationships and growing up. I love the way she writes and chooses her words so beautifully. Her voice is so soothing as well which made it such a pleasant listen. I’ve always loved listening to her talk in her YouTube videos and I really enjoyed listening to this book.

Absolutely Beautiful
An amazing story. Dodie has outdone herself with this beautiful book. I'll listen to it over and over, taking in every message and absorbing the hope she gives. Dodie is living proof that it gets worse, but then it will get so much better, and this story is a perfect reflection of that.

Such real and raw advice from a wonderful person.
I'm only 15 and I'm glad I've listened to this book now because I kept thinking about how all this advice given to me will be so useful in the future. I keep thinking about the times when I'll come back to this book for advice and maybe that's my naivety but I'm glad I have a book of advice to come back to. I'm glad Dodie has written this book because it feels like a direct letter to me about how to handle parts of the world. Sometimes I fantasize about having an older sister and a closer relationship with my mom and Dodie has partly satisfied that wish. If Dodie ever reads this, I just want to say I am so grateful for you and I love you. Keep taking care of yourself because you deserve to be taken care of.

The book feels special since it is narrated by Dodie herself. And an audiobook bonus is that she also sings her songs for this book.

stunning and unique
What a clever use of the medium! combining stories and songs and with input from friends, this is a gorgeous bit of art.
I was not familiar with dodie before I bought this - and to be honest, some of the book was a but young for me (I need a middle-aged dodie giving me advice on feeding my family when one kid is suddenly vegan and the other only eats white food) - but I loved it anyways.
I have kids just coming into adolescence in a world completely changed by social media and the interwebs. and I like to think I am pretty "with it", but also I'm 39 and my days of gigs and late nights and dating are (thankfully) behind me. This collection of stories and advice and songs was like a bridge between their world and mine. a reminder that while many things have changed, a lot of things are the same.
Plus the songs were lovely.

Amazing!!!
I finished this book in one go, I loved the different aspects of this story. there's different people (Dodie's friends) talking about different things and Dodie herself singing songs about the times in her life she is talking about. I couldn't have listened to a better autobiography if I tried!!

Ideal for Teens
I liked the book and the content. I like the way how Dodie mixed her story telling with practical hints and advice. However, as an older person it feels like something that I should have listened to and likely to have benefited from as an adolescent or teenager.

5/5 this book is amazing!! I’ve only just started to watch her videos and listen to her music and this is truly a reflection of her inspiring character and spirit. She didn’t pretend to have all the answers while seemingly answering each question that pops into my head, her thought provoking reading of it all adds to the charm. overall I would recommend to anyone and it is a worthwhile purchase if you enjoy her content already
