DID NOT FINISH: 13%

I was actually really interested in this book and the topic. I personally have also struggled with depersonalization (and some derealization) and I really connected to some of the descriptions in this book. I also found it interesting to read about someone who is not open to accepting that their feelings are something more common and possibly treatable; but also the feeling that even though there is an "answer" it's hard to feel as if there just be an "easy" solution. 

However, the more I read the more I just found myself losing interest. This seems to take place during therapy sessions and I just found it slightly boring and repetitive even in the first 50 pages. I think that the writing style is unique and really fits the story being told, but I just couldn't bring myself to continue reading. The more I lost interest the more I found it hard to keep track of what was happening.

Maybe one day I will return to this, but for now I have other books I want to read more.
