Are You Really OK?: Understanding Britain’s Mental Health Emergency

Product Information

Stacey Dooley's voice was really strong throughout - she writes exactly the way she speaks! It was nice that her narrative voice is so strong and you can tell she has a real passion for the subject matter. She also spoke recently about whether marriage was on the cards for the couple. "Marriage has never been massively important to me. Also, it's well-documented that Kev's done it a couple of times before," she said, referencing Kevin's marriages to Anna Melnikova in 2007 before they split in 2010, Clare Craze, whom he divorced in 2013, and finally, Karen Hauer, whom he wed in 2015 and split from in 2018. Although I did really enjoy this book, I think where it fell down was the use of Stacey Dooley's asides and her insights into what her interviewees were saying. Most of the time they felt quite pointless and at other points they just felt slightly irritating. I understand that Dooley needed to add her thoughts because otherwise the book would read like a transcript but it just didn't really work for me and sometimes took away from the book. Most of the time she would agree with what the interviewee had said or would note how it is very different from her own experience and she couldn't imagine what they had gone through. Where her insight was helpful was when she reflected on her time on the psych wards and was able to marry up her interviewees experiences with what she had seen on the ward. I think the book would've been vastly improved with this and is a unique perspective only Stacey Dooley could've given. Akins, Chris (24 July 2012).

Furious Sam claimed he had found gushing messages between the two on Stacey's phone as they were clearing out their flat after agreeing to split.
