Lori has a distinctive writing voice and a way of ending every chapter with a lesson or a cliffhanger that took some getting used to, for me, but overall I liked the short digestible chapters and how the story flowed and how she slowly revealed more to the reader, never rushing for us understand faster than we needed to. I struggled a bit to finish around the middle, which knocked it down a bit from a 5, but I wonder if I had read it via audio (instead of digital) if it would have been a 5. Either way, I don’t think everyone would enjoy this but I would recommend to anyone interested in the human condition, in therapy, in a unique kind of memoir, in a book that makes them reflect on themselves and their pasts and their attitudes toward living. Thank you Lori, for ditching that last contract so you could write this instead!

I liked her thoughtfulness and deliberateness with her patients. I liked knowing she is also someone who needs a therapist as well. It’s given me a new lens to look at me in therapy through.
