I really enjoyed reading this book. As someone who has been diagnosed with BPD, and still doesn’t understand everything about it and myself involving BPD, this book really helped me to understand a little bit more about myself.
Some of the things that were addressed in the book really hit home for me and also made me think about the people around me and their perspectives.
This book gave me some insight on things that I need help with that I didn’t know I needed. Im going to be talking to my therapist about some of these.
I highly recommend reading this book and sharing it if you or anyone you know has BPD. It’s very insightful and I definitely think by sharing this with the people in my life, it will help us create a better future moving forward in our relationships!

Thought provoking as someone with BPD. Made me think about how I’m affecting others around me, and their perspective. A lot of what was said hit home for me and helped me understand myself better

As someone with BPD myself, parts of this book were informative, and I enjoyed reading it. Other parts of the book I considered grossly inaccurate. For the work put into this book and it's intent I rate this book 3 stars.
