This made me realize way too much about myself. There are things that were normal to me until I read this book. Thank god I was in therapy when I read this or I think I would’ve had a full mental breakdown. It’s so well written, like we’re old friends and she’s telling me about her life. It has mental staying power but I don’t know if I could bring myself to reread in the next five years purely due to our trauma being so similar. It’s a wonderful book and I think everyone between college and 35 should be required to read this. It’s the subtle abuses that sometimes hurt more than physical. The quote about the guilt spiral absolutely did me in and it defines my recovery. I’m so thankful she wrote this book.
