Started reading this because it was the #2 option (behind JD Vance's Hillbilly Elegy) when I put the filters "available now" and "most popular" on my Libby app.
This was a solid read. Interesting insight into what therapy can be. Would I read it again? Probably not. However, I am glad to have read it once.

I almost stopped this book several times during the first half…the author’s sharing of her story felt irritating and self-serving and trite (what does that say about MY psychology….). By the last page my hear was wrapped up in the “characters” and I am deeply glad I stuck with it.

Probably my favourite book in 2019. Funny, moving, forces you to reflect and was so addicting that I kept reading a few pages here and there because I JUST WANTED TO EAT IT. No but seriously, it's great, if you're into relationships, humans, psychology, or anything kinda related to those topics, just read it.
What a great reminder on the IMPORTANCE of seeking therapy. I stumbled upon an article of Lori Gottlieb on the Atlantic last week so I looked her up and found out that she has some published works! I'm trying to read more self-help/memoir books this month and focus on female and/or POC authors. This was a satisfying read, I need to find out who John (Famous Hollywood TV Writer) is
I love this book, obviously, as it is my line of work. I listened to it on audible - I highly recommend it.
I really enjoyed this - a heavy read, but an emotionally cathartic and ultimately hopeful one.
