Maybe You Should Talk to Someone by Lori Gottlieb

4.0

emotional funny informative inspiring lighthearted reflective relaxing sad slow-paced

This book was very relatable, funny and real! Told by a therapist (with experience in show writing too, enjoyable tidbit!) with stories of her own patients and herself as a patient, this book humanised the need to seek help for your mental wellbeing and demonstrated that every person needs it. Although it is non-fiction, the “characters” were so loveable and the way the story was told with each “character” strewn throughout the book certainly kept me wanting to know more about how they ended up there.

I remember one quote in particular that went something like “perfect is the enemy of good” which was a quote that really struck a chord with me. I think this book has something for everyone, I have recommended this to other people and my Mum is already reading it and texting me about it.
