2 stars • meh but an interesting concept

I think this could have been an interesting memoir, but I didn't enjoy this one. Most of this book is just transcripts of the author's therapy sessions.

It's an interesting way of telling's one life, but I think it would have benefitted with more regular memoir writing. I don't feel like I know much about the author, like her history, or family. It centered mostly on their feelings. The novel also tries to be part-memoir, and part-self help, and I don't think this combo works.
