Devoured this book! A refreshing, honest portrayal of being human. Obviously very frustrating at times (why does she keep going back! Why did she give back the dog?) but she explains it and hey, it’s her experience and healing isn’t linear.Thank you to NetGalley for the ARC!

The Third Option by Beca Salmon is a really raw and transparent memoir linked to change. Written by a clinician who takes stock of her own life with absolute honesty, Beca intimately details both the heartening and jarring moments, such as the quiet relief she finds while snorkeling alone in Kauai, and the visceral aftermath of tearing paper across the floor as a way to remain present. I admire Salmon for how she faces her own patterns. I was able to relate to recognizing how anger can affect entire days, and committing to therapy after seeing the fear in people we love. I am a man, and this book was incredibly enlightening to me. This memoir is a beautiful account of rebuilding life after a relational rupture. Very highly recommended.

This is a beautifully written, raw and honest story of Beca Salmon’s life. While she experienced an overwhelming amount pain and betrayal, she rises above it in a way only someone with intelligence and intentional self discovery could. In the end, it becomes more than a memoir. It is a story of the journey of healing, shaking off the darkness, and left me with the feeling of having received the warmest hug from the author herself.
