Heart Berries: A Memoir by Terese Marie Mailhot
challenging
reflective
medium-paced
4.0
A book I’ve heard great things about. This is a very personal memoir, told by the author after a hospitalization and diagnosis of PTSD and bipolar disorder. Mailhot writes beautifully and painfully, but I do wonder about how personal some memoirs get — I’m assuming her husband would’ve consented to this writing but everything is on display in a very uncomfortable way. I’m certainly not a fan of his after this.
