Welcome to Litsy!

Excellent book.
Mental health and feminism. Rebuilding yourself and understanding yourself.
Tendler told her story is a way that was easy to follow. I don‘t know if it was slightly sugar coated or more detail just wasn‘t necessary. I did get frustrated that she mentioned her divorce multiple times and yet we never get any story on that. We get the story on other men but not that one, it‘s odd to me.
Well written. Interesting.

Not has good has the first book but it gave me closer for finny

•This was an endearingly sweet story that hit all the feels, but it didn‘t quite hit me like Dark Room Etiquette did. While it had a similar feel to it, I still wasn‘t quite as hooked. Although it‘s still completely worthwhile because the love in this seriously shines.
•Graham Halsted & Christopher Gebauer‘s narration was excellently performed.

I was never crazy. I was the product of my circumstances. (That one took a long time to completely acknowledge.) But it's true: I responded and reacted and behaved the way any normal, healthy, functioning person would and should.
I wasn't supposed to be happy. Had I responded well or complacently, U would have ended up where I was headed. I would have lived the life other people imposed on me. I would have actually constituted for being mentally

OK, I think this is my last book to review for April. This one was for #RiseUpReads & I loved the lyrical verse it was written in. Using fairytale & folklore room around the world to talk about clinical depression is such a creative way to talk about a difficult subject, especially for young adults. I enjoyed reading it & might listen to the audiobooks as I think that would be a powerful way to experience the prose. 💜💜💜

Every now and again I need a little tune-up/deep dive into my alter ego who is a fulfilled and effective psychotherapist. This is my calling! Yalom is so comfortable in his skin, lending his years of experience and thinking outside of the paradigm of the field to guide budding therapists. If only I had this when I was young!

I didn‘t enjoy this as much as Let‘s Pretend This Never Happened. Overall, a good read and I appreciated her descriptions and stories of her mental health journey.
