Now That You Have Seen Me by C.L. Roberts
3.0
3.5⭐
Publication date ~ January 22, 2021
Page Count ~ 220
POV ~ single 1st
Featuring ~ some steamage
Something traumatic happened on Farrah's 6th birthday that led to a strained relationship with her parents. Now she is 29 and seeing a very unorthodox therapist named Bonnie. Bonnie has her keep a journal and that's how we learn most about Farrah's life. And boy do we learn a lot.
The author describes the book as "somewhat dark, psychological mainstream fiction, bordering on chick lit (only because it is aimed more toward women than men), and may be described as Fight Club meets Bridget Jones’s Diary meets Sybil" and I agree with this assessment.
Overall, I did find it to be well written, and while it didn't bother me, there are definitely some dark themes as it touches on, not so dark, but notable to name a few. There were some light humor moments that balanced out the story, though.
