Right Behind You by Diana Wilkinson

 ⭐⭐⭐⭐✩

Right Behind You by Diana Wilkinson - 349 pages

I have no idea why he thinks I had anything to do with Danielle’s accident. My only crime was being in the vicinity when she fell down the stairs.

Being forced into therapy for stalking, though, is well over the top. But my therapist, Justine, is quite the character. I know what she wants to hear, and I’m also a master at playing the system.

When she twigs what’s really on my mind, she might not be so cool. I’m starting to enjoy watching her try to unravel my secrets. And make no mistake, there are plenty of dark corners to explore…..

I like how the author portrays the main character, Beverley, as this very manipulative, cunning, revenge seeking individual.  Soon the hunter becomes the hunted.  While this book peaked my curiosity, and I would say it was a good book, but it wasn't a great book.  

Maybe You Should Talk to Someone

Maybe You Should Talk to Someone by Lori Gottlieb -432 pages

From Amazon:  With startling wisdom and humor, Gottlieb invites us into her world as both clinician and patient, examining the truths and fictions we tell ourselves and others as we teeter on the tightrope between love and desire, meaning and mortality, guilt and redemption, terror and courage, hope and change.


I enjoyed this book -- especially her time with John, a patient whose barrier Gottlieb slowly chips away.  I would also love to know who he is and which show he produces.

Man's Search for Meaning, by Viktor Frankl

Man's Search for Meaning, by Viktor Frankl, 184 pages

I have heard this called one of the most important/moving/influential/inspiring books ever written, and I have to agree.  Viktor Frankl survived the concentration camps, and wrote this memoir/explanation of logotherapy to reflect on the idea of survival, finding purpose, and allowing life's meaning to find you.  It's hard to sum up, but this is a really good book for personal reflection and development.  It's self-help, but without the feeling that the author is trying to sell you a product or develop their brand.
