This book tore me from the inside out and exposed me completely. I've had my eye on this read for a while, and I picked it up at the most perfect time, as I didn't realize just how much I would resonate with Mailhot's disease and how it disrupts her life. Just being diagnosed with Bipolar I had me spiraling for a little while, and though Mailhot was diagnosed with Bipolar II, I still felt every single symptom she detailed deep to my core. I want to hold her. I want to read everything she writes. I want to re-read this when I feel alone in my disease. I want more of her language, her writing style. Just utter perfection.

Reading this book feels like hearing someone's inner monologue without them knowing. It is genuine and complex. Something I will sit with and think on for a while, I'm sure

4.0

I did not know anything about this book before starting and after reading a few pages I feared I wouldn’t like it because it seemed too distant from my reality. I was wrong. Although I haven’t lived the same life as Terese or endured the same traumas, there were so many ways in which I connected to her story. This book had so many good quotes to pull from that I felt drawn to and raised emotion out of me. I would recommend this book to anyone that’s had an imperfect romantic relationship with a man. This book also delved into childhood trauma, childhood SA, grief, bipolar, suicidal thoughts, love, and heart break.
