I can’t explain it. I think it’s a combination of the way she narrates her story and that a part of me kind of doesn’t believe a word she says (which would make sense… sociopaths love to manipulate).

While I'm not sure I have any major opinion on the accuracy of her story, it is very interesting reading these reviews. To be fair, she does note that the conversations are "reconstructed" which I think lends to the vibe of inaccuracy, as they are very one-sided. The writing was just OK, the dialogue could be a little cringey, but I found the Sociopath introspection fascinating. It's not a topic I knew much about, beyond the "serial killer" connotations in the media. The concept of not being able to feel naturally (rather than not at all), and how it relates to anxiety or being "stuck" was eye opening. The music business aspect was obviously also very intriguing, who are you Max?

An interesting and genuinly moving introspection on Sociopathy. Really enjoyed the epilogue & the time at camp.

Graphic: Mental illness
A memoir about the wildly misunderstood mental disorder of sociopathy, written by a sociopath who has a PhD in clinical psychology. Through Gagne's experiences growing up and in her inability to relate emotionally to everyone around her, we as readers are challenged to assess preconceived notions on sociopathy--and thus disproving the common assumption that all sociopaths are evil or violent.
Incredibly informative, shocking, and eye-opening. I loved it!
