Self Love by T.L. Clark
5.0
Self Love is an astonishingly funny and relatable story from word one. I absolutely adored that it was written as if Molly, the main character, is personally letting you in on her snarky, self-deprecating inner dialogue. Perhaps I connected so well with this story as I, too have been in exactly her position on multiple fronts - unhealthy in mind and body, with an overly critical mother, and the life and dating struggles that naturally result from both conditions.
Though while this book is hilarious and real, it also drops mind-blowing insight and wisdom I wish I’d had earlier in life. In fact, there are two absolute gems in particular I plan to take on as mantras - “(H)ow others treat you is their own karma, how you react is entirely yours” and “Self-love is not selfish, it’s essential.”
Ultimately a story about love in its many forms - romantic, familial, and, of course, of self - this witty, introspective tale will have you laughing, crying, and choking up with happiness as you follow dear Molly’s journey to self love. And it may just help you with your own along the way.
