challenging emotional informative reflective medium-paced

4.5

It took me a while to get into but I really loved it when I did. A really beautiful story of a therapist and her experience in that role, as well as being in therapy herself, including some really interesting and emotional case studies of clients. 

I thought there was a perfect balance between some really emotional accounts and funny anecdotes. The whole tone and narration just felt so genuine, and I really loved getting to know the 'characters' and routing for them, as well as the author herself. Loved Wendel, bless him, and Sam the delivery guy warmed my heart.

Big recommend

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
