A memoir like no other

A fascinating memoir of a remarkable woman shedding light on the deficits of mental health care through her lifelong journey as a sociopath integrating in society on her own terms and pursuing as satisfying a life as possible. While extremely candid, at times, it seemed personal anecdotes were highly edited and glossy. Without spoilers, she labels certain acts she commits during her life as criminal but as some are described in her memoir, they would not actually be. It leads me to believe there was a lot unsaid in these personal stories for the sake of not truly incriminating herself and losing the sympathy of her readers, wholly her perrogative as author. This memoir evokes a different lens through which is typically viewed of sociopaths. Less fearful and more personal. I couldnt put it down.
