me2023 's review for:
Julie Tudor Is Not a Psychopath
by Jennifer Holdich
As someone diagnosed with EUPD, I am quite familiar with Psychopathy, because it is thought by some to be a personality disorder. For that reason, parts of this book were actually quite triggering for me, but I thought the story and narration by Clare Corbett were both too good to give up on.
The story is far fetched and only skims the surface on Psychopathy, but the narration kept me hooked. I could believe that Julie was a real person, even though she had very little capacity for emotions and no empathy whatsoever. She's not a character to route for but still engaging somehow.
The plot is quite fast paced and honestly had me stressed listening to it - Julie is quite terrifying in that she really doesn't see the wrong in anything she does. I'd like to think that people like Julie don't exist, but I'm sure they do.
Overall, it's a solid, fairly quick read with lots of twists and turns. There are mentions of some heavier subject matters, so be aware if you're thinking of reading it. It's not for the faint of heart but I would recommend it to fans of Yellowface.
Thank you to Hodder & Stoughton Audio and Netgalley for the ALC
