All My Friends Are Invisible: the inspirational childhood memoir

Product Information

There is nothing wrong with that but it just doesn't add up to the narrative on YouTube or instagram we have been getting which left me feeling like I was missing something.

He and his spouse, Anna Saccone, publicise selected aspects of their lives on YouTube, TikTok, and Instagram.I would’ve been interested to hear more about what happened after the airport situation, even as maybe one extra chapter. Joly seems to be talking of very cliché things here, eg doesn't want to play football as it's for boys, and doesn't want to go to a boys school as he gets on with girls better despite having friends and sisters outside of school.

I really do hope that Jonathan seeks professional help, as what ever the cause of "Domidie" is it deserves help and treatment. Jonathan's invisible friends were his lifeline, and on that day at the airport, they came flooding back, and have remained with him to this day.

I would also like to know if Jonathan has spoken to a therapist about his traumatic childhood with bullying inside and outside the home. Interesting (bewildering) and thought provoking at times, yes, but not sure it could be deemed a self-help book as the author doesn't actually bring it back to the present day and shed light on whether healthy coping strategies where implemented etc. However, i do believe some parts of the story felt whimsical and surreal in a way that made you question if the story was completely real as I felt there were a little bit too much detail in some parts-especially with how young Jonathan was at the time. I find this book extremely demeaning and a complete insult to those who are genuinely struggling with mental health issues. I do not want to doubt that aspects of the story are true, and that the author had severe mental health issues as a child, but I think the key word here is story.

You can choose to leave this world and hope whatever lies beyond ends up being better, or you can create your own. He documents feeling 'other' his whole life and not wanting to be a girl, however he doesn't really explain this very well. Magical Land: Jonathan Joly claims to have retreated into a complex, vivid fantasy world as a child where magic could happen and fantasy characters abounded. I feel like a lot of celebs and non celebs bring out a book as it's the next step for them, but sometimes just because you can doesn't mean you should. Because growing up in conservative 1980s Dublin, where there was little tolerance for children who were ‘different’, Jonathan Joly was, indeed, a different sort of child: creative, expressive, and – on the inside – a girl.If he claims to have been traumatised to such a horrific extent, I have to question why he allows millions of people to watch his children online grow up and watch many private and sensitive moments. It was published by Quercus Publishing, and according to the book's back cover blurb, it would be "one of the most talked about books of 2022. I urge anybody reading this book, or contemplating it, to please seek professional help if you have imaginary friends, worlds or hear voices as an adult for the first time. The graphic details the author provides from a young age leads me to believe that part of this story is fiction.
