Reese Witherspoon

‘This unrestrained memoir is a transporting experience and one of the most startlingly hopeful books I have ever read.

“What’s going to happen to me when I start group?”
“All of your secrets are going to come out.”
 
Christie Tate has just been named the top student in her law school class and seems to finally have got her eating disorder under control.

So why is she driving through Chicago fantasising about her own death?
 
Desperate, she joins Dr Rosen’s psychotherapy group, and through his unconventional methods, he challenges everything she thought she knew, about herself and others. In group, secrets are not allowed.

This means telling a group of strangers everything – about her struggle with bulimia, her failed sex life, her overwhelming sense of loneliness and acute longing for a relationship. And as she keeps sharing her thoughts and feelings and listens to the others doing the same, her life slowly begins to change.
 
This is a deliciously compelling read, and an intimate journey through the daring, exhilarating, painful, and hilarious journey that is group therapy – a process that breaks you down, and then reassembles you so that all the pieces finally fit.
