4.5
I've been experiencing the symptoms of BPD while reading this book.
Chapter eleven was a snoozefest to get through, though afterwards I enjoyed the rest of the book a lot better than the part before it.
I understood this book, I understood its message, but my god will you ever finish a sentence, Mr Wilde? I would start reading a sentence then forget what I even read by the end of it.
It's a 4.5 for me. If chapter 12 and onwards didn't exist, it would've been lower.
