I don’t have words for how incredible this was. The story, the storytelling…..I was utterly captivated. I cannot WAIT for the third!!!! (This is me hoping there’s a third in the works).

Absolutely insane ending to the third book that left me a gasp.

The voice author is incredible in their various voices for each character which makes the story so immersive and enthralling — so I love that. I will say that there are times that it’s hard for me to hear her so I feel like the vocal intensity (or perhaps the audio recording intensity) isn’t 100%, but I’m still going onto the fourth book!

Performance Spoiled Underwhelming Story

When this book started I was so shocked by the story I couldn’t tell if this was fiction or not — but when the vocal performances for each interviewee were from the same two actors that idea was immediately spoiled for me.

Now the actual writing of each interview was too similar for me — linguistically speaking, each one of them said phrases too similar that also killed my immersion into the story.

What was the nail in the coffin was the order & flow of the interviews. They felt too disjointed and each one ended feeling empty & incomplete. There were, also, so many interviews that when interviewees were circled back to later in the story I couldn’t remember who they were (even though I listened to this in the span of a couple of days).

Sadly this was not for me. I couldn’t even finish the remaining 2.5hrs because it was so unenjoyable.

Freida did it again — she kept the twists coming again and again. I drank this up and loved it! I hope there’s a third.

This was an absolutely thrilling story with several unexpected turns that ended with me pleased. I’ll be happy to read the author’s other works now that I know I’ve enjoyed this book.

Brene really speaks to my soul. She is a NORMAL person - not someone sitting in their Hightower explaining how “other” people act. She relates everything she researches to her own life. I have an extensive trauma/ abuse/ neglect history, am in my own sobriety & addiction recovery, and am continuously working on becoming a person who truly acts in accordance with their fundamental beliefs. I’ve been on this journey for a few years now - desperate for connection that I couldn’t maintain because of my triggers, trauma reactions, and intense lashing out behaviors. Now I’m working to grow and maintain HEALTHY, meaningful connections in my own life. This work is also so important as I am a speech-language pathologist and encounter many of these emotions in the patients I treat and am privileged to serve. There is so much power having to language to put to our experiences and our emotions. I am deeply thankful for Brene Brown and the fact that I can look up to her as a sober role model but also a vulnerability& connection role model. I loved this so much I bought the physical book to go along side it& it is truly a work of art, but nothing beats hearing Brene speak such intimate words!
