The Lost Letters: The Dark World of Narcissistic Abuse
Adult; Self-Help, Sex & Relationships, Psychology, Philosophy, Fashion; (Market)
If you have experienced being in a relationship with a narcissist, gone through their discard, or are currently in one and just trying to cope, know you are not alone.
Only those who have endured the same can understand the anguish of being trapped in a narcissistic relationship. Nothing is more dangerous to your identity, worth, and sense of value than being decimated by someone you were groomed to love and trust—someone you bared your soul to—who seeks only to use your kindness and empathy to feed off you, devalue you, judge you, control and ridicule you until you are nothing but a shell.
Then, once you have nothing left for them to take, you are discarded like a broken toaster. But this is only the beginning of the next act of devastation: when they claim the horror of what they have done to you as their narrative in a smear campaign to turn everyone against you.
You are not alone. There are thousands suffering, or have suffered at the hands of a narcissist. I am one of them. I have written this book to help you escape, heal, and begin again, stronger, better, and more powerful than ever before, no matter what your narcissist has led you to believe.
If you want to learn more about narcissists, how they target their victims, how to spot one trying to trap you, and how to escape if you've been trapped, you are in the right place.
Heal, live, love again. This time without the lies.

Assessment:
Idea: This memoir about dealing with the aftermath of a relationship with a narcissist is compelling, but it would benefit from a more streamlined organization. It also acts as an informative guide for others faced with the same challenges.
Prose: The writing style is lyrical and engaging, but the switch between the first and second person is confusing at times. There is also a nonlinear structure that creates an uneven timeline of events.
Originality: The unique writing style and harrowing personal details make this a uniquely riveting book. While it has some confusing moments, it provides valuable insight and advice.
Character/Execution: This book, even though it has some muddled moments, is a remarkable tale of perseverance and overcoming adversity that will inspire any reader.
