This book is somehow both tragic and hilarious! Foo somehow manages to brilliantly describe her journey with CPTSD in a way that allows you to embark on it with her. She’s real and raw and honest and funny. It is hard to read about the graphic descriptions of childhood abuse and the compelling descriptions of overwhelming grief, but it is well worth it. I learned so much while reading it. This book is one that I’ll definitely reread in the future! It would be good for other sufferers of CPTSD or anyone who is curious to learn about it, especially for the benefit of better understanding a loved one.
