Confessions of a Sociopath: A Life Spent Hiding in Plain Sight by M.E. Thomas

challenging informative slow-paced

3.5

Interesting, but still repetitive even with the chapters each focusing on different formative parts of her life. I think that, like other readers of this book (from what I’ve read in other reviews at least), I was hoping from more personal details from her life, particularly specific cases in which her interactions have caused some sort of damage (in her words, cases where she’s ruined someone’s life). It almost makes me wonder if leaving them out was a sort of manipulation of the reader on her part, as well as being nominally for her safety and to prevent her from being identified. I’m not sure I’d re-read this, but it was a good introduction to the topic.
