To everyone else, Terri White appeared to be living the dream, named one of Folio's Top Women in US Media and accruing further awards for the magazines she was editing. In reality, she was rapidly skidding towards a mental health crisis that would land her in a locked psychiatric ward as her past caught up with her.
Coming Undone is Terri's documentation of her unravelling, and her precarious navigation back from a life in pieces.

Reviews for Coming Undone: A Memoir
A stunning memoir, hard reading in places, but it feels urgent and necessary . . . White writes like a blood-stained angel
Cathy Rentzenbrink
The Times
A breathtaking read . . . her honesty and her eloquence is the thing that makes it such a privilege to read . . . a raw, ... Read moreshocking, beautiful book
DOLLY ALDERTON
The High Low
Coming Undone by Terri White is possibly the most affecting, moving memoir I've ever read. Painful and exquisite, her writing about how childhood trauma shaped her got to me in a very visceral way. It's a remarkable book
MARIAN KEYES Raw and remarkable
Guardian, Book of the Year
Powerful and moving, beautifully written, packed with stunning set-pieces and, I thought, a stinging-but-dazzling, complicated love-hate letter to NYC, and to how our dreams can too often deceive us. I found it bittersweet and raw, and radical as a memoir narrative: not so much a redemption tale as a chronicle of the real fallout of trauma: messy, difficult, intricate, infinite . . . [A] life-changing read
EMMA JANE UNSWORTH I didn't put it down until finished. White's extraordinary memoir is gripping, unflinchingly honest and written with great wit
SALI HUGHES Unique, painful, compelling
AMY LIPTROT Coming Undone is a beautiful, if uncomfortable, read and White writes with an unflinching, scalding frankness
Irish Times
Written with power, love and heart, it'll leave you wanting to read so much more by this extraordinary writer and woman
Stylist
