I was attracted to this book because you always wonder if other women feel the same way that you do on various subjects or if you are just an abnormal freak. Maybe both but it always makes you feel like if other people are climbing the same mountains and breaking through then maybe you can too. Thats what this book does. It gives you hope that those ugly things about you dont have to define you and dictate your life. Take it with a grain of salt, though that yes you can identify with these women but I hope your goal is not to stay stuck there forever.
