Craigslist Confessional: A Collection of Secrets from Anonymous Strangers by Helena Dea Bala

You know how people will tell you a story about their past experiences...
- To inspire you
- To provide life lessons so you don't make the same mistakes
- To provide advice on a problem you are having
Well if you are looking for stories that hit on any of the three bullets above, then this book is not for you!
I had high hopes for this book after reading the synopsis. I was expecting either shocking secrets to be shared or inspirational stories. Instead, every story in this book was dark and heavy and had a lot of trauma and/or pain in them. Honestly, I can't believe I finished the book. There were multiple times that I just wanted to throw the book out the window, but I pushed through. At the beginning of the book, the author said that she wanted to help others, but how does exploiting someone's pain help them? Overall, I would not recommend this book to others.
