a reverse zombie apocalypse that poses the question: who controls the story? really enjoyed this flipped on its head zombie trope and found the writing and storytelling super engaging

i went in with low expectations, i just wanted a quick little audiobook, but this was surprisingly good! silly premise, but delivered well. i loved the sense of dread that followed me the entire time i read.

britney is not an author, but her writing is so deeply affecting. she was honest and vocal in a way she was never able to be before now. i felt very emotional the entire time reading this, because it’s a story we hear from women all the tim; . i was used, i was ignored, i’m not crazy, i am simply human.

Adult Children of Emotionally Immature Parents: How to Heal from Distant, Rejecting, or Self-Involved Parents by Lindsay C. Gibson

3.0

i do think this is a valuable resource and i learned a lot but self help just genuinely doesn’t appeal to me. it’s very much worth the read if you have a weird relationship with your parents and don’t exactly know why
