Maybe You Should Talk To Someone

Lori Gottlieb is a counselor and the author of Maybe You Should Talk To Someone. She writes about a handful of her patients. One is Rita, a depressed senior citizen who is thinking about suicide. One is Julie, a 30 year old newly married woman with terminal cancer. One is Paul, a handsome and sometimes belligerent film director who wants to talk about all the idiots in his life. One is Chloe, a young woman who wants help looking for love. Lori, the author, also starts to go to therapy because her boyfriend dumped her unexpectantly but the real reason she goes to therapy are much more complicated than that. This book wasn't a novel as such. There was no plot. This was more of a journal that gives insight into the role of a mental health counselor.
