Wow. All I can say is wow. This book made me want to cry, find the author and give her a hug, and cheer at the very end. Stephanie Foo starts the novel off saying that a lot of the book may be triggering, but it does have a happy ending. I was a bit nervous when I heard that because I was worried that it would be too much for me to handle, but while there were times that it was a lot and I had to take a break, it was very moving and inspirational. I think the most meaningful chapters were towards the end where she analyzed her therapy sessions. I listened to the audiobook and I actually got to hear the sessions and it added to the story. Stephanie was also the narrator for the novel and I always like listening when the author is the one narrating it. There is more depth and emotional added to the story, which makes it more meaningful. I really think everyone should read this book. It’s amazingly powerful.
