pickThis book was excellent, especially for anyone with narcissistic trauma. I really liked how its for the survivors/victims of this kind of abuse. The beginning outlines the narcissistic personality traits and the type of people that attract them. It was informative but also disheartening, but stick with it because she gives you so many tools/strategies and ways to determine if the relationships you‘re in are also narcissistic. So, worth the read!
pickA very interesting psychological book about mother-daughter realitionships.
so-soVery educational on the types of narcissists in the world (which we seem to encounter rather constantly) and potential influences that steered them into that personality disorder. However, not much useful advice is included within (outside of the age-old “distancing yourself“ and “setting boundaries“).
pickWoah- buckle up for this crazy-pants story set in Toronto!! Cammie has had a terrible life and yet she keeps drawing people to her. Gibson, freshly divorced has never felt a connection like the one he discovers with her-& bereaved Shelby finds sudden strength when they meet in a grief group. Reading this one is like watching a train wreck and sure to start lively discussion! A quick, fascinating & ultimately one that you want to pull others into!

One night three years ago, the Tanner sisters disappeared: fifteen-year-old Cass and seventeen-year-old Emma. Three years later, Cass returns, without her sister Emma. Her story is one of kidnapping and betrayal, of a mysterious island where the two were held. But to forensic psychiatrist Dr. Abby Winter, something doesn't add up.
pickThis novel isn't what I expected, but I enjoyed reading/listening to it. Without going into spoiler-level detail, I'll just say that I appreciate the nuanced redemption in this book.
It's also my May #bookspin, so the month is off to a solid start, reading-wise.
pickI received this one as a gift. Very insightful, it perfectly sums up everything you need to know about narcissists, how to recognize narcissism in men and women (yes, they tend to act differently), how to understand what triggers narcissistic behaviour, and thus learn how to successfully live and work with one. I'm happy I haven't identified such patterns in those close to me, it makes life easier :)
