In Erin Hurlburt's debut novel, As Long As You Can See The Clock You're Okay, readers are introduced to the protagonist, Emily, a young woman struggling with mental illness. Through Emily's eyes, we witness the debilitating effects of depression and anxiety, and the toll it takes on her relationships, her work, and her overall well-being.

Emily's journey is not an easy one. She experiences moments of despair, self-harm, and suicidal thoughts. But she also finds moments of hope and healing, through therapy, medication, and the support of loved ones. Hurlburt's writing is raw and honest, capturing the complexities of mental illness with unflinching accuracy.

One of the most striking things about As Long As You Can See The Clock You're Okay is its portrayal of the stigma surrounding mental illness. Emily faces judgment and discrimination from those around her, including her family, friends, and even her doctor. This stigma makes it difficult for Emily to seek help and get the support she needs.

But Emily is not alone. Hurlburt also introduces us to a cast of characters who are struggling with their own mental health issues. There is Ben, Emily's boyfriend, who is struggling with depression and addiction. There is Sarah, Emily's best friend, who is struggling with anxiety and self-harm. And there is Dr. Patel, Emily's therapist, who is struggling with burnout. Through these characters, Hurlburt shows us that mental illness is not a sign of weakness, but a common human experience.

As Long As You Can See The Clock You're Okay is a powerful and moving novel that shines a light on the realities of mental illness. It is a story of hope and resilience, and a reminder that we are not alone in our struggles.
