After a long battle to get a copy, I was so eager to read it. I go to Starbucks per my nightly ritual. Sit down, read for a couple hours (now 200 pages in) , get home, and within 20 minutes get a call that my own narcissistic mother is dead at 47. It's such ridiculous timing I don't even know what to do with myself.
Just curious, should I keep reading or should I put it down for a bit? Basically is there closure at the end or will it just add to the very complex emotions running through me already. Reading is my coping strategy... so what do I do?
Edit #2: I deleted my first update because I didn't mean to upset anybody. I didn't want to exceed this forum because the fact I was reading this book at this time was really getting to me and I didn't know how to deal with this material going forward. Plus, I got so many good book recommendations from your comments so I wanted to keep the post. My apologies and still thank you for anybody who wrote something kind. I'll put the first update in a comment just so people don't have to read it if they don't want to but I know how reddit hates incomplete threads.
