Just finished so still processing but this was excellent. Never thought going into this that I would have feelings of empathy and compassion for a sociopath. I feel like I have a new deeper understanding of this condition and how these people are suffering from it and how they ‘feel’. I’m so glad that there wasn’t anything cliche or Hollywood about what happened. It was clinical with emotion strangely enough.

I rarely dnf books but I just couldn’t continue listening to.
The book has a variety of flaws but its biggest might be how boring it is. Yeah sorry but I don’t care to read about a very wealthy and privileged woman who just gets handed whatever she wants and never faces any consequences.
I can sympathize a lot with her struggle with mental health and not understanding what’s going on in ones head but she just either keeps repeating herself or tells tales out of her life that are a. obviously exaggerated to a ridiculous degree (seriously she cannot for the life of her write natural dialogue) or b. are boring
Add to that that she is a very rude person. Not because she is a sociopath (which she LOVES) but because she’s just extremely rude in a weird mean girl kind of way.
I also thought that the part about the woman with (possibly (which is another point, I am extremely skeptical of her therapist who is happy to throw around possible diagnosis not just for her patient but for random people, and let’s Patrick break the law as much as she wants. Saying that she would need to report the behavior if it continues and then not doing it when it does is really funny. How much are you being paid ma’am?) bpd was really weird… Patrick showed zero empathy or understanding which yeah is part of her but most importantly she doesn’t reflect at all. It seems that only her personality disorder is cool and valid and makes her behavior of aggression alright, but everyone else that struggles similarly is ridiculed. And I mean ridiculed literally. To voice the woman she uses a very annoying voice which is just childish.
I know through the reviews that the book basically ends with her praising dbt as the solution which is funny because dbt was specifically created for and is used to treat bpd AND why did it take her decades to realize that?? I learned about and participated in dbt when I was 16 lmao it’s one of the most known treatment of personality disorders.
Lastly, I was DISGUSTED every time she and her husband/boyfriend interacted. They met and started dating when she was 14 and he was almost 18. She wasn’t even in Highschool yet while he was planning for college. I don’t want to hear about a 14 year old sitting on the lap of someone who’s about to graduate. He is also just really weird and keeps encouraging/enabling her behavior (even joining in sometimes???) and then suddenly complaining about it.
Anyway, long rant but I had to get it all out.
