Wanted something straightforward for my Seattle trip and travels home, but this is straight up transcripts of a person and their therapist. Boring as hell.

If the author had written a traditional memoir I might have appreciated her perspective, but the therapy session transcriptions bored me absolutely. Such a tiny book yet I could barely finish it. The prologue was touching and made me excited for the book but it dropped off immediately. The only other part I enjoyed was the reflection at the end about her dogs. All that being said, it is a testament to the author’s vulnerability and candor that I feel guilty writing a negative review and wish I could tell her that despite the book not being for me, I’m proud of her and she did a great job.

3.5, but for Goodreads, I've rounded it up to four because it was such a valiant book for the author to record & publish.

Couldn't finish. The concept seemed promising but in practice, I thought the conversations between therapist and protagonist were unbelievable as the therapist explained rather than probed. Although the protagonist describes very relatable issue, anxiety, pressure, scared of failure, I couldn't identify with them because of the writing style, there was no progression of thoughts or perspective. As a reader, it was hard to follow any kind of character development.
