5.0

I couldn't put this book down. I love the humility and grace that John Paul brings to his advice column answers.

I had too many favorite quotes, but here are a few:

"Trauma lives in the body long after the events that birthed it go away. It builds a home for itself in our memories, where it asserts itself as reality..."

"Wanting to recover those things was feeling homesick for a home I never had"

"I'd grown accustomed to the tyranny of optimism"

"Maybe love, or its evil sibling, infatuation, had made him something else in my eyes"
