My Inner Critic by Christine Bernard – Review by Beverly Finnie

My Inner Critic by Christine Bernard
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

My Inner Critic was phenomenal. Not that I don’t have a love/hate relationship towards it. But that’s not because of what the author wrote but because it made me evaluate myself in comparison to the character. As someone who lives with High Functioning Anxiety this book hit extremely close to home. I also realized that everything that drove me crazy about the character, I do myself. Though it may be a fictionalized version of the author’s story, it’s very accurate to anyone who lives with this.
Emily lives in a world where everyone’s own happiness is put above hers. Also that she sees none of the positive traits in herself that others see. Going through the motions of life, when fear/anxiety don’t get in the way is how she exists. Unfortunately she’s also at that point in life, that those closest to her are moving on. Getting married, starting families, and drifting apart, leaving her single and alone. Or is she?
Blake is single and free. Not thrilled about getting divorced but so happy to start back up The Friday Night Club with Emily. He cares for her, and he keeps dropping signs that she’s missing. She doesn’t realize he would drop anything for her. That’s Blake’s job to figure out how to navigate the field, all the while she’s trying to find herself.
Everything the author brings you is so spot on! You may go through everything the author presents to you as well, don’t use it as a trigger. Use it as a way to learn something about yourself. I feel like everyone should read this book!
