2.5 stars. I think this book will resonate with a select group of people who will identify with these inner thoughts on intense loneliness and struggle with relationship-based trauma. While I, too, have felt very much alone in a sea of people, I did not get much out of this book; it seemed empty to me, like a catharsis for Lane Moore to vent about her feelings rather than what the marketing suggested. (I expected more constructive essays on how she handled being alone.)
