I do not ascribe to jungian philosophy
the book was rambling, could not follow a train of thought, the bolstering arguments seemed to come out of nowhere, rooted in random thought and arguments that were rambling and disjointed
#unpopularopinion this read like a million little pieces by James Frey

Girl what are you talking about!? .
This was recommended as the first book for my book club, so I gave it a try, but honestly, it was so
unenjoyable I almost quit the club. Everyone in my book club struggled to get through it too.
-It gave : “I have my PHD, so I'm so smart , but what can make me smarter? Doing shrooms and writing a book on how women are like wolves.”
-The author seemed to insert herself too much and was overly poetic; using mystical language that just didn’t land.
-The comparisons to animals didn’t work, and instead of feeling empowering, it came across as extreme and confusing.
*It was like someone telling a joke and then explaining why it was funny because no one laughed. Just didn’t hit the mark.*

I spent over two years reading this book - at some points it was exactly what I needed to hear, at some it felt tedious, and at some I felt like I was “wrong” for not being the kind of woman described. I don’t want to run naked through a forest. I wish I did, but I think I’m primal in other ways. I also felt like this book didn’t have a lot of nuance for mental health or queerness. By this book’s encouragement I moved to a new state thinking this was my moment when in reality it was detrimental to my mental health and not what I actually needed. So I liked this book, but not all the time.
