Empress (the_empress) Has anyone read it?

I've read about five pages from the first chapter of the book and I would go from crying like a baby to laughing out loud. I know sometimes I laugh when I shouldn't, but I was wondering - has she actually tried to make it sound funny sometimes, or it's just my mind playing tricks on me?


Empress (the_empress) That's my "review" of it. Finished it today.


Julie | 2 comments It's been some time since I have read this book, and I did mostly enjoy it, although it did not have as much impact on me as I would have liked (which is probably why I do not remember it so well). Having BPD myself, I could relate, and I appreciated Reiland's candor. However, once it became more about her therapist, I began to lose interest and just more or less skimmed it until I was finished.

The end for me was a bit too stretched as well. Sounded too much like a love letter. It is not a book that would help anyone get trough things but it is an honest account of her behaviour. Thank you fr posting.
