I absolutely loved the raw honesty of this book as well as the story itself. I felt very connected to the author and all the rest of the characters as the book progressed. I did however find it kind of long and just wanted it to all wrap up in the last few chapters.

I recommend this book to almost everyone but especially if you have an interest in mental health or if you have ever been through trauma that made you consider therapy. I recommend this to people who work in therapy social work or healthcare. It starts off slow and you may say “why do I care about this” but when the author starts drawing parallels between her experiences with that of her patients and experiences with her therapist it’s very interesting and enlightening.

Picked up this book with no expectations but simply to read it with my work bookclub - and I’m so glad I did. This book had me angry, sad, laughing, and even crying. I loved getting to hear all of the stories including the story of the main character and her experience with therapy. Being able to follow growth between each character while learning more about human nature as the story progressed. 

I may have even recommended this book to my own therapist.

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.
