Maybe You Should Talk to Someone

Lori Gottlieb

5.0

emotional reflective medium-paced

---

I really enjoyed this book. The fact that therapists also usually have therapists isn't something I really ever think about, but it makes a lot of sense to me. I loved getting to listen to all of her stories as well as watch her evolve throughout her life. It was also lovely to watch her patients' lives move past things and grow as people. I also don't usually read memoirs, but this is one that held my attention really well and I found myself constantly wanting to read it.
