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.
3.5 Rounded Up
I really enjoyed hearing the stories of the clients. Rita, Julie, John, and Charlotte. These stories were so intriguing and well done. I was very roped in to seeing how these people came into therapy and was able to unravel their trauma and get to the root of their issues.
I did feel the book was too long and a big meandering. As much as I like to peer into the mind of the therapist, I felt myself wanting to skip the chapters about Lori. Hearing her interactions with Wendall was a good juxtaposition with her clients, however, I really couldn't care less about her previous work leading up to therapy.

This book is definitely meant to be right at one time because when I kept putting it down or having to return it to the library it took me too long every time to get back into it. But it’s written with a really kind and comedic voice with a great mix of humanity and thought-provoking ideas. I want to give it three stars based on my reading experience but I feel like that’s not fair since I was the one that kept putting it down.
