Maybe You Should Talk to Someone by Lori Gottlieb.

"A therapist narrates her life and the lives of her patients as she leaves us with wisdom and helps the readers find themselves in between the pages."

This book is probably one of those well narrated books you can never get enough of. The author/narrator who is a therapist too, has a lot to say and a lot to give you in the form of this book. You will probably wish that the book never ends. But it does end and you close it with heavy emotions as if you have spent a lifetime in it. It has stories to narrate from the author's pov and how her patients feel about life which hits you like a train at times. The words in this book have the potential to make you feel less alone and also to shatter you (not in a wrong way) at the same time.

It's rare to find such a vulnerable piece of art nowadays, the way our lives are revealed in the book makes it worth the read. The book has tons of wisdom to offer. You are not going to get over this book with empty hands. Sometimes, I have found myself relating my life with the events in the book. None of the character is hard to relate. None of the story seems like far fetched. It's all very real and very pure. This book is the definition of perfection in my opinion. Apart from that, it is valuable for the people working in the field of psychology. So many insights, so many wonderful details.

This book came as a blessing in disguise for me. I needed this book and I am glad that I read it at the right time in my life. I wouldn't have understood or related to a single word had it not been for this year.
I'd rate it a 5/5. Do read it some day in life, if you get time. I promise you won't regret it.

Especially in the times we are living in, where there is just so much to grieve about, I would suggest you to please read this book.

Thank you to the author for writing this book! I really look forward to the next book by her!! 💗

Forever the blue skies,
