I bought this on the strength of the other very favourable reviews, seeking to understand more about the condition which my wife has suffered from, seemingly for some years now. As soon as I started reading there were so many similarities between Rachel's story in the book and my wife's story that I was desperate to get to the end of the book as I knew it had a happy ending. Although this is just one woman's story there will be something in this book for anyone who suffers from BPD or the people who love them and wants the inside story. One word of caution - leave the psychiatry to the experts, my wife did not appreciate me telling her that her inner child was acting out.
