Maybe You Should Talk to Someone by Lori Gottlieb
fast-paced
3.0
This was good. I will say I have noticed a trend between the style of writing that journalists use when writing about life and all of its wonderful roller coasters. (This book reminded me a little of Dolly Alderton’s). The character arches were fun to read about and this was the perfect book for the bus rides in the morning. Her writing was very comforting and easy to follow along. Throughout the book she also peppered in a few key psychologists and their main frames which I thought was quite good.
Few quotes I want to keep here:
“how his grasp of exquisite pain is what makes him such a powerful writer”
“Every person you’ve been close to lives on somewhere inside you. Your past lovers, your parents, your friends, people both alive and dead (symbolically or literally)—all of them evoke memories, conscious or not”
“Because pain abates but doesn’t vanish.”
