A review by megbodz
Men Have Called Her Crazy by Anna Marie Tendler

dark emotional reflective medium-paced

5.0

Anna Marie Tendler's Men Have Called Her Crazy exceeded my expectations. For those hoping that this book would be filled with gossip from her divorce, this book is not tale, and is the better for it. Tendler's memoir is a moving exploration of grief, anxiety, and womanhood. She opens her book when she checks herself into a psychiatric hospital after a year of intense anxiety, depression, and self-harm, and we follow her two-week journey at the hospital and her recovery following, as well as anecdotes of her experience with men from her adolescence and young adulthood. It is a hard read, but rewarding and beautifully compassionate memoir. This book will stay with you.
