Stay with Me
by Nicole Fiorina
This book was heartbreaking and it touched my soul like no books before.
It took me time to finish it because reading it was too much. Each page was painful and broke me but only to shape me better.
It was a very personal read for some reason, and the first 60% of the book felt like heaven and hell at the same time. In a good way obviously.
If Love was a book, this would be it. The mix between beauty in its natural way and true and healthy love is so strong that it crushed my lungs. It also brings a huge amount of sadness, we can feel it on every page more or less.
Mia is so realistic, perfectly written (reactions, thoughts...) everything is done as it would be in real life. The trauma is well described -even though I would have better prefer another approach of the psychologist for a few reasons.
It's the first time in my psychological carrier I meet a fictional character that was precisely written, with a psychological problem that is Bert close to reality, in her reactions, thoughts, and self-defense mechanism.
The only thing that makes me want to take back the « this book is my favorite of all time » I said, I’d Ollie’s condition.
While Mia’s traumatic defense was well mastered, very similar to what we study in victimology, courses I follow, Ollie’s condition is not realistic.
EI does exist, but the medication doesn't make the person its personality or joy. It doesn't turn it into a robot. Yes, your feelings are mitigated and it can be odd at first, but never it changes the feeling inside.
It bothered me because it took a huge part of the last chapters.
I found Mia’s story heartbreaking and touching but I found “too much” in what followed. The Oscar and Isaac thing? Not credible at all…
That being said, I loved this book so much and annotated almost every page.
