No Easy Answers

For one, I liked the title. For another, when I read the bits provided from the "look inside" bit provided by Amazon, I found I could relate to a lot of what she was feeling and so I ordered the book from Kino.
I was right about relating. I read the book in one sitting. The only bits I found difficult were the blog posts or essays at the end. At first. Then I got stuck in them and enjoyed them too.

I didn't always agree with her therapist, whom I found too pushy (aren't patients supposed to come to their own epiphanies) and I thought she was taking way too much medication and that her therapist was a little cavalier about the side effects. In the beginning, when Seehee had expressed concern about side effects, she had brushed it aside.

But there were many things I recognised, such as her description of adult ADHD. Right now I am on a Netflix fast because of how addicted I am, and how distracted it makes me, unable to concentrate on any one thing.

The moment I sit down to do something, part of me wants to immediately get up and do something else. Having a job forced me into a set series of activities, and having to see them through.

All this time on my hands and no clear idea of how to spend it...I realise on reading the book, the dialogues, that there is an awful sameness to the issues we deal with. Same shit, different day.

What I loved most about the book was her honesty. She sugarcoated nothing.

And that's why I think you should read it.
