I gave this 5 stars but it was not my typical read. I did tear up at times and I feel most people that go through hardships and put faith in God can definitely appreciate this book.

Nothing dull about this perfect example of looking for love in all the wrong places.
Under the advice of her therapist Doug, Vanessa keeps a journal about growing up, her family, and defining moments in her life. Dear Me is that journal. A record of the poor choices Vanessa made in the years after graduating high school and how one thing led to another. At one point, she allowed someone to make most choices for her, pretty much accepting whatever came her way and then blaming the other when the anxiety came along with the nightmares. "So and so 'made me'."
I've really enjoyed this work of fiction. I especially liked the last meeting we read about that Vanessa had with Doug.
If 1/2 stars were possible, 4.5
Has the author written any more books?

These introspective letters are written at the prompting of her therapist after Vanessa attempts suicide. Her therapist has her catalog important events in her life. The story unfolds in a way that resonates with all readers. How certain events, your perceptions and friendships effect the outcome of your life. Towards the end of the story Vanessa becomes a Christ believer and realizes how different her life would have been if she would have surrendered to the Lord and asked his forgiveness and received His grace and Mercy earlier in her life.
