TELL ME WHO YOU ARE
Louisa Luna
She whispers
“Tell me how you start your day.”
“Tell me what makes you angry, sad, and vulnerable.”
“Tell me all the secrets you’ve kept, the lies you’ve told, and the dreams you’ve sold.”
“Tell me who you are”
Dr. Caroline Strange (love that name) is unlike any psychiatrist you know, and she’ll be the one you never forget. She has nontraditional methods for tackling her patients’ issues and from time to time her problems seem bigger than her patients
One day a new patient, Nelson, walks in threatening to kill someone but with no specifics yet, she cannot intervene with a phone call to authorities. But there’s time still. He also states he knows who Dr. Strange really is. This unnerves Caroline but instead of cowering, she decides to take Nelson as a patient head-on. She knows how to handle her patients and he is just one in a long line of creepy patients that have sat on her couch.
Soon after Nelson’s session, the police show up at her office door. Someone is missing and Dr. Strange is on the short list of people to interview. Does this have anything to do with her strange new patient, Nelson?
Someone’s mental health is showing, and it’s not the patients.
Well, at least, it’s not just the patients. I love Louise Luna’s female characters. They are almost always headstrong, alpha types that don’t take a lot from anyone and they’re so much fun to read.
The writing is smart, and the characters are gold, however, this story didn’t really work for me. I look forward to whatever Luna publishes next. I am a fan and even when I don’t love the story, I still enjoy my time reading Luna’s work.
Have you read Louisa Luna before? What are you waiting for?
