    I read and loved this. I know most of the flat places in the UK she visits and have an inkling of their appeal to her, but what makes it special is the way she links them to her recognition of her CPTSD and then draws in her childhood recollections combined with digressions into literature and more. I so glad the book spoke to you even more personally.

      I love it when a book feels familiar with the locations too. It’s so wonderful to visualize exactly what the author is discussing! Thanks so much for the wonderful comment!

    I read The Flag Place last month and had a bit of a mixed experience with it. But I absolutely loved hearing how much the book meant to you and truly think this is one of the nicest sides of memoirs, that they can make you reflect so much on your own life as well! Great video 😊

      Oh gosh, thanks so so much for watching :) Bummer about your mixed experience. So often it's the right book at the right time too and that perfect timing definitely put it over the top for me as opposed to being a just okay read.

    I love this Karen, reading a book so deeply and connecting to it in the way you did, and being able to relate it to your own experiences is so valuable. I'd take this above a 15 book wrap up any day 💗

    Oh man I LOVE this review!!! It was so zen, and I LOVE that you've used your own experience with therapy and connection to water to relate to the insightfulness and vulnerability of the author. Short and sweet little masterpiece *chef's kiss!
