Definitely worth a read

I grabbed this book because it was one of Amazon's Editors' Picks. While this won't be for everyone, I thoroughly enjoyed this book. I read it at a time in my life when I found some, but not all, of my dilemmas and Christie's dilemmas similar and relatable. I think most people can relate to Christie's relationship issues at one time or another in their life. A lot of people are turned off by the methods of the therapist or Christie, but this is her truth and a story about her experience from her perspective, so yeah it's not going to fit in everyone's preconceived box of what they think "should" or shouldn't be. For me this is definitely worth a read.
