4.0
I did not know anything about this book before starting and after reading a few pages I feared I wouldn’t like it because it seemed too distant from my reality. I was wrong. Although I haven’t lived the same life as Terese or endured the same traumas, there were so many ways in which I connected to her story. This book had so many good quotes to pull from that I felt drawn to and raised emotion out of me. I would recommend this book to anyone that’s had an imperfect romantic relationship with a man. This book also delved into childhood trauma, childhood SA, grief, bipolar, suicidal thoughts, love, and heart break.
