'Rosie is an inspiration' DUA LIPA

'Raw, honest and surprisingly upbeat' SUNDAY TIMES

In 2018, model Rosie Viva was arrested after a psychotic episode at Stansted Airport led to a full evacuation. Hospitalised and diagnosed with bipolar disorder, her life changed overnight.

In Completely Normal and Totally Fine, Rosie shares her powerful journey through mania, depression and recovery β€” navigating love, work, and identity while embracing a new normal. With honesty and heart, she sheds light on the realities of bipolar disorder and challenges the stigma around mental health, encouraging us all to speak more openly about our messy minds.

'Bursts with authenticity and warmth. A gift to anyone touched by bipolar.' LEANNE TOSHIKO SIMPSON, AUTHOR OF NEVER BEEN BETTER

'A fittingly open and honest account of what happens when you lose your mind' SERVICE95
