Behaving Like Adults by Anna Maxted

5.0

For me, the story turned out to be secondary to the psychology of the characters. This book made me notice that i often read the action and conversations more closely, but skim through the thought processes. The reason i noticed is because when i went to do that (during a conversation that was interrupted for a pages-long mental soliloquy) it didn't work. Initially that was annoying, but i came to LOVE this book for just those trains of thought. Holly's thoughts and feelings seemed amazingly real, perfectly in synch with many i've had myself! I decided the author must have been through such a thing herself, to have it down so complexly, and yet (having recently come through a different trauma myself) i was *still* stunned at how someone could get it all down with such clarity after the fact, b/c of the so often accompanying mental fog & patches of amnesia.

I was very surprised at the depth of & level of perception in this story!
