Maybe You Should Talk to Someone
by Lori Gottlieb
To say I don’t know how to rate this book or how I felt about it, is an understatement.
I would say about 75% of the book dragged for me. At 50% I even wanted to dnf. But the last 10-15% made me glad I stayed.
Throughout the whole book I was teetering on a 2 or a 3 star review. I did not at all like how the author painted herself. Granted I know we all as humans are forever growing and changing. Asking ourselves exactly what she was asking herself in the book. But for some reason it just rubbed me the wrong way. I also wasn’t a fan of “Boyfriend” as he was called throughout the entire book.
I went into this book hoping it would compare to another book on therapy that I absolutely devoured. I wish I could say that this book was comparable to “Good Morning Monster” but it’s not even close.
As a therapist you want to keep people’s lives private and for this book the author did just that. However, having to change and alter their stories makes me wonder if a fiction book would have been better.
I found myself in the last 10-15% smiling and feeling empathy for the people in it. I’m glad I stuck it out for the ending which then solidified my 3 star rating.
