Finding this disconcertingly relatable but totally loving it…

Haven’t been in the mood for a memoir in a while, but Patric’s writing is more like when you first hang out one on one with a casual friend & very quickly, you end up feeling almost high off the mutual understanding & shared experience - or maybe it’s just me & my tendency to only feel this type of kinship with others as openly flawed as I am?

I resent the immediate implication that if I’m reading this book, I’m likely familiar with the signs & symptoms because I, myself, am a sociopath.

I also resent the fact that this is not the first time that this has been suggested to me by someone who is clinically licensed to diagnose sociopathy…

Have been postponing borrow this audiobook when my holds become available for “20+ weeks” according to Libby, despite the number of high ratings from people who have similar reading histories & TBR lists as mine… In between more exciting options, I figured I’d finally give it a go.

Fortunately, listening at 2x speed has allowed me to get 3/4 through in 2 short drives…
