Flight Risk by Joy Castro

Don’t listen to the people upset about politics in the book.
Don’t want politics in your book about a Latina women who grew up in a white dominated country small town? Don’t fucking read it. Characters have nuances and politics reflect on peoples lives. And the whole point of that scene was to show the one time she broke in front of him and how he handled it.
ANYWAY-
Loved this book. I cried a lot but felt like I got the biggest hug in the end. It’s very emotionally heavy and I think it beautifully captured this lack of trust and that survival instincts that come with c-ptsd and BPD. I loved slowly learning her story, and feeling ways that I related (and ways I didn’t) to her up bringing. It was a powerful read for he with well developed characters and beautiful descriptions. Most importantly, it’s about learning to move on and to live again - to stop living in survival mode off of stress and guilt and just live on.
