Purrsistently (46 KP) rated Shadow Child in Books

Jun 21, 2018

Objectively, I feel the book deserves 4 stars, but gr ratings are supposed to be based on your enjoyment, which was a 1 or 2 for me.

I’ve read other books featuring mental illness, the aftermath of atomic bombs, self harm, abuse. I don’t know why I felt so repulsed by this one, but I did. It isn’t a bad book-it’s very good actually, but I hated it.

This was an ARC I received in a giveaway. (Not via goodreads)

Betsy Brandt recommended Postcards from the Edge (1990) in Movies (curated)

"My brother and his family were in town and my sister-in-law’s never seen it. I’m like, “How have you not?” She’s five years older than me. I’m like, “How have you not seen that?” I read the books. You feel like you’re bipolar when you read it. I think that’s as close as anyone who does not suffer from that illness, that you can understand it. It’s the way [Carrie Fisher] writes that. What a talent and what a loss."

Phoebe Bridgers recommended The Body Keeps the Score: Mind, Brain and Body in the Transformation of Trauma in Books (curated)

"People have been trying to get me to read this book my entire life. My mom, various friends and partners, but I hate when people think I will like something. Especially when that thing is about trauma and mental illness. But I finally read it at the beginning of this year, and I can’t believe I made it this far without it. It is sort of traumatizing in itself, but it inspired me to finally set up a session with a good therapist."
