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 arefreshingly 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
