Surviving Dirty John: My True Story of Love, Lies, and Murder

Overall I enjoyed the book, she has had a lot of therapy from therapists who have worked hard to ensure she knows she was a victim which is very supportive of other victims but then she undermines that when she says study after study have shown victims of traumatic events remember every detail clearly, study after study actually shows that frequently the opposite happens as well. I was raped and I in fact do NOT remember the date or the day of the week, I do not have perfectly clear memory of the event and I have heard many stories of the same and I know I was also a victim! One rape victim tried to memorize every detail she could of her rapist's appearance only then to identify the wrong man. (DNA didn't match) Fair warning, she's not a great reader, which really surprised me for how smart she is, but she pauses in weird places, however, her voice is super pleasant to listen to, and that alone makes me understand why anyone would want to listen to her all the time!

Great book. Really important true account of how easily a sociopath can manipulate smart and good people.
