- Alcoholics beware- recommend avoiding this one.
- Discusses loss of a sibling retrospectively- probably be okay for most that have experienced loss- proceed w caution
- SA survivors- should be okay. I know well how unrelated and specific things can trigger- but this book doesn't have anything classically triggering.
- Child abuse- none
- Divorce- yes.
- Infertility- ish. Some trouble conceiving right away. No angst or depth. It was annoying. Just how it was handled was annoying. Didn't think it was handled right or wrong. Again, going along theme of book, it was flat.
Thought it was flat, which is a good thing sometimes. It was an easy read. The sticky points could have been made very dramatic and delved into to give it much more angst. But it didn't, which kept it flat but also easy. The theme of the book is the meanderings through life and love and relationships. Not the hell each time period can bring.
