I liked it but again it was much too long and some of the characters, like Jason, were underdeveloped

I liked the plot and I love how Rick weaves the story together but there were a lot of dragged out moments and exposition. A lot of the book could have been cut out and it would be fine.

Took a minute (ironically) to get through. I loved the insights and techniques the author gave and got emotional learning a lot of things I didn’t know were because of adhd. Solid read but I do wish more time was spent on forgetfulness because that’s by far the worst part of my life. I also wish there was more information on how exactly to go about getting an official diagnosis.
