emotional hopeful informative inspiring reflective medium-paced

4.5

This was a beautiful story about a therapist whose patients were all going through something difficult, while she herself was also going through something difficult and seeing her own therapist about it. In the end, all the stories came together beautifully. The stories were sometimes heartbreaking, but it was inspiring to see the patients grow/recover/accept/learn to love again. Ultimately, this book was about human connection and growth, mixed with interesting insights and psychology facts.

hannahgunther's review

Gottlieb crafts a raw, real, and personal narrative that answers the question: what does it mean to be human? However, her frequent use of lewd, vulgar language and often "TMI" anecdotes made me put the book down.

emotional funny hopeful informative inspiring reflective sad tense medium-paced

4.0

this book made me experience the full spectrum of human emotion. still sad over some things in it!!! it is a really good book that illustrates how we as humans are so much more than the versions of ourselves that we choose to show and that we all have trauma, we all have good and bad sides, and there are things we all would rather keep hidden.
