Love how Rachael takes giant horrible painful sh*t and somehow makes it cute and funny as well as relatable! She makes really scary stuff normal again, and therefore less scary, which is an amazing superpower!

A bittersweet, funny and insightful journey through some of the darker parts of human life.

- Adrian Tchaikovsky, author of the Shadows of the Apt series,

This book is the most fantastic gift to the world. By turns poignant and hilarious, but always insightful.

- Gareth L Powell, author of Embers of War,

How Rachael writes about her own life with such compassion for her readers is a constant source of joy. Whether I'm reading a chapter with clear parallels to my own life or one that's more specific to her, I always feel like the book is reaching out to give me a hug and tell me we're all going to be okay.

- Dani Colman, author of The Unfinished Corner,

It takes a brave artist to delve into the darkness of grief, addiction and mental health. It takes a great artist to find the heart and the humor of it all. Rachael Smith is both, and <i>Glass Half Empty</i> proves just how lucky we are to have her voice.

- Jody Houser,

For Rachael to expose her vulnerabilities in such a heartfelt way takes bravery. To make you laugh at the same time takes rare talent.
