If I could give this one 10 stars I would!! I Thought I Knew is a powerful and moving story about a young woman named Nicole who faces the devastating reality after a traumatic event and her journey towards healing and recovery. The story begins with Nicole as a bright and ambitious college student, full of hopes and dreams for her future. However, her life takes a dark turn when she becomes a victim of a horrific attack. The author does an excellent job of depicting the raw emotions and struggles that Nicole faces in the aftermath of the attack. We see how it affects her relationships as well as in her overall mental and emotional well-being. However, the true strength of this story lies in Nicole's resilience and determination to overcome the past. With the help of a support group, she slowly begins her journey towards healing. The author portrays this process with sensitivity and authenticity, showing the ups and downs and the small victories that come with it.
What I appreciate most about this book is how it sheds light on the importance of seeking help and support when dealing with trauma. It also breaks the damaging stigma surrounding mental health and encourages readers to speak up and seek help when needed. The writing style of the author is engaging and easy to follow, making it a quick read. The character development of Nicole is well-crafted, and I found myself rooting for her throughout the story. The supporting characters also add depth and emotion to the storyline.
Overall, this book is a thought-provoking and inspiring read that sheds light on a sensitive and important topic. It is a story of hope, resilience, and the power of healing. I highly recommend this book to anyone who enjoys a powerful and emotionally charged read. It is a story that will stay with you long after you turn the last page.
