emotional hopeful informative reflective sad medium-paced

4.5

I had heard that this book was good, but I didn't realize how good it was.  It's more than a memoir.  In the book, the author explains her issues and how she worked them out during therapy and her patients' therapies.  She also introduces many psychology concepts in a much more interesting way than a Psychology 101 class.  Be warned:  the terminally ill young woman she works with until her death is life-affirming and heartbreaking.

Could not put down this book as I fell in love with each character, sympathizing and connecting to each. Only real blemish is the lack of detail of Lori’s own growth, which is only noticeable in comparison to that of her patients

I so almost cried at work

I dont remember the exact quote, but she was talking to julie about time travel and they said that theyd never travel to the future because thats where the hope is and if you go to the future the mystery of hope disappears
