Maybe You Should Talk to Someone
by Lori Gottlieb
emotional
funny
inspiring
slow-paced
Wow. I was blown away by this memoir. It reminded me of Adam Kay’s This is Going to Hurt. Lori, a therapist, navigates her own struggles while helping others through theirs. She shares not only the stories of her clients but also her own journey as she seeks therapy for herself.
I absolutely adored her patients. John reminded me so much of Tony Soprano, so I visualised Lori in their sessions as Jennifer Melfi. I loved Rita, who also reminded me of The Man Called Ove. And Julie’s battle with cancer and miscarriages truly inspired me.
“There’s no hierarchy of pain. Suffering shouldn’t be ranked, because pain is not a contest. You can’t get through your pain by diminishing it,. You get through your pain by accepting it and figuring out what to do with it.”
I laughed, I cried, and I reflected. This memoir is filled with so much humanity—raw, honest, and profoundly insightful. One to remember.
