Loved the first three books of this series; didn't make it through the first chapter of this one.
(here comes the mildly spoilery part)
It's one thing to have your female protagonist rename herself Ophelia. It's entirely another to have said protagonist suddenly and violently change personality to match Shakespeare's Ophelia. How is this sudden desperation for male validation coming from our brave badass bitch who for three books has barely batted an eye at handling her business? What is this long drawn-out teenage girl meltdown? I don't know who this person even is any more.
I thought Rhiannon was - slightly terrifying, but great. My personal opinion perhaps, but I hate Ophelia; if the series had started out with her I'd have never gone on reading it.

hugely addictive - great series so far
Absolutely bonkers. I don't generally go in for thrillers but the...distinctness of Rhiannon's voice made this one very easy to keep reading.

Well-written, but more useful to someone in the social sciences studying this condition than an average human having the condition (too scholarly, not as practical as I was hoping for)

Take Back Your Brain
As much as I liked the idea of this book, silly me, I signed up for the author's newsletter only to find her incredibly aggressive with pushing her $99 a month coaching community. While I'm sure if you have that kind of money the service is well worth it, it left me feeling as though apparently only rich women deserve to take back their brains. Might revisit in the future once I've gotten the bad taste out of my mouth.
