Retrieved 13 December 2022. The humor may have made a difficult topic easier to approach but it was not always funny nor it was always appropriate. I just wish that the book had a more serious tone at some points. And no, don't jump to the last two chapters just because I have mentioned it as the reason why I cried. It would not give you the impact of what I felt. It's just that it told me what we feel when it comes to our jobs which are quite misunderstood by everyone else, especially those in authority who should have understood us better.

You’ll be gripped in this clever exploration of fear and vulnerability right until the flawless ending—one you’ll most certainly want to talk about.”— ASHLEY AUDRAIN, New York Times bestselling author of The Push This Might Hurt is about a cult focused on overcoming fear, its mysterious leader, and the woman in her thrall. Although this wasn’t as compelling as Darling Rose Gold, I will definitely read the author’s next release.

With shades of Brit Bennett’s The Vanishing Half and Liane Moriarty’s Nine Perfect Strangers, This Might Hurt is a tense psychological thriller with an eye towards larger themes.”— PureWow I’m so glad that I ended up giving this book a chance! I read so many thrillers that I rarely find one that stands out but This Might Hurt is truly unique to the genre. Not only does it contain one, but it contains all of the following: Dark, disturbing, and entertaining at times, I was enthralled by several of the characters, yet some of the storyline dragged a bit and left me a tad confused.
