A REESE'S BOOK CLUB PICK 'Every page of this incredible memoir by
Christie Tate had me thinking, "I wish I had read this book when I
was 25. It would have helped me so much!"' Reese Witherspoon 'This
unrestrained memoir is a transporting experience and one of the
most startlingly hopeful books I have ever read. It will make you
want to get better, whatever better means for you.' Lisa Taddeo,
New York Times bestselling author of Three Women For fans of Three
Women and Everything I Know About Love comes a refreshingly
original memoir about self-discovery, loneliness and love. A
guarded young lawyer reluctantly joins a psychotherapy group where
she has to share her innermost thoughts with six complete
strangers. In turn she finds human connection, and herself. "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. Praise for Group 'This book will remind you how
to come back to yourself even when you want to give up, make you
laugh, make you cry, help you breathe. This book will save lives'
Lidia Yuknavitch 'Real transformation is not for the faint of
heart, and in these pages Christie Tate captures her evolution in
all its misery and hilarity, along with the beauty of bearing
witness to one another as we grow.' Sarah Hepola 'Christie Tate
takes us on a journey that's heartbreaking and hilarious,
surprising and redemptive - and, ultimately, a testament to the
power of connection.' Lori Gottlie
