andreaaj4's review against another edition

DID NOT FINISH

this book felt like an ethical nightmare. group therapy should NOT be like this.

Fantastic! I could not put it down! A transfixing, heartwarming story that reminds us how lucky we are to have our special groups in our lives, whether they are from therapy like Christie or just our friends and family we hold close.

Horrible

This was an odd book. I’ve never heard of a therapist with boundaries like Dr. Rosen. Entertaining nonetheless!

I loved this book. I couldn't put it down, really. Christie's story intersected with my own in several ways - I'm a therapist myself, and have been in group therapy as a client, and I'm also a writer. Christie's writing is strong and vivid and personable. I felt connected to her through the raw, brave stories she told in this book.

I am in awe that this book only got a 3.8 on good reads, to me nothing is more relatable about how life can be lonely and how often we need a group to guide us through it. I found this book at the right moment, I cried with Cristie, I cringed with her, I got angry at her. I really enjoyed reading this.
