As a college dropout and part-time restaurant worker in downtown Toronto, Kevin is stuck in a rut. He wanders the city aimlessly and lives a solitary life while his mental health steadily declines. After reconnecting with an old college crush, he gets strung along by her once again while simultaneously getting initiated into an underground group of pickup artists promising him a remedy for his romantic frustration. Kevin comes out of his shell for what feels like the first time, giving up self-control to his newfound identity. He meets new people, learns how to seduce women, and lives what appears to be an exciting, City Boy life. That is until this emotionally confusing process stimulates a thoroughly destructive addictive personality.
FIX: An Untold Story of Obsession, Seduction, Addiction, & Despair is the memoir of author Kevin Luke's time spiraling into self-destruction through ruminating on feelings of anxiety, guilt, and suicidal ideation, all while managing his high-functioning mania.
Sourced from old journal entries and audio recordings left as streams of consciousness meant only for himself, Kevin wrote this book during a cathartic frenzy amid his darkest depressive episode experienced in years. A rare insight into the untreated bipolar mind, readers now get a voyeuristic glimpse into the author's scattered quest for self-improvement.
