I received a copy of the audiobook by the publisher in exchange for an honest review.
Even if the quality of the recording is far from professional, there is a rawness and intimacy in hearing the author narrate her own book, hearing hesitations in words, objects falling on the desk, and pauses after particularly emotional moments.
This is a rare kind of book. A book where someone decides to share the reality of living with an addiction, just like a shadow following you everywhere and taking control of your brain. She calls the sex addition a fantasy addition, and explains how often it is paired with eating disorder. Her mindset coach, who helped her find new ways to cope with her life and heal from her addictions, wrote the preface and the final conclusion of the book.
There is something about finding mirrors, something about finding raw self-published testimonies that reveal parts of yourself and help you heal. This is one of these books. I recommend it highly.
