Belle Burden

Like just leave people be.

I've started listening to Strangers by Belle Burden, which was recommended to me, which is a, well, a book.

But I'm listening to the audio version and I'm still on the first chapter.

And this isn't a spoiler because, well, listen, a spoiler potentially if you are going to read the book, but this is literally in chapter one.

And yeah.

And she's like obviously having a nervous breakdown and she says her therapist, I think it was her therapist, there's a lot of names in the first chapter because she's talking about who supported her, emailed him and said, because he wouldn't take her calls, he was like, I'll decide when I speak to you, how I speak to you.

her therapist emailed him and said this is the cruelest you have to speak to her like you have to he you have to do like therapy like you have to give her an ending like you can't just her therapist emailed is this a true story yeah yeah it's written by the wife oh my god sorry what's it called Strangers by Belle Strangers what's her surname Belle Burden and uh I think it's her therapist.

That could be wrong.

it's like my favorite memoir.

One of my favorite memoirs, Strangers by Bell Burden, which I was listening to this morning when I couldn't sleep.

that unfortunately that is a horror film it's a horror book like it's I wish her voice didn't comfort me so much because now I'm having to relive her trauma every day but I was like listening to the tail end of it and it's so sad what she says she's basically like the thing that still brings a lump to my throat currently and it's been a few years a chill to my spine is that There was like a clock I couldn't hear ticking.

And this person that, you know, she was married for 20 years and thought they had the happiest, most perfect marriage and whatever.

Yeah, there's just outside factors for everyone.

But I recently read a very, it's become a very popular memoir, Strangers by Belle Burden.

And in it, it's mostly about her divorce, and she's in the top, you know, 1% of the 1%.

And so it's just an interesting look into that world that most of us will never be part of.

I like to do something that's opposite of what my day-to-day work is like because I'm like, I need an escape.

This is more kind of in between, but it's a book by Bell Burden called Strangers.

It's very new.

Okay.

I say that.

But in like, as I said, in that article's opening paragraph, it talks about three books, Famesick, Yesteryear and Strangers by Bell Burden, which is like that memoir, which is about that billionaire's wife suddenly getting left.

Um, that's the only one I haven't read.

And like, I'm not sure whether I've resisted it specifically because it's so kind of popular and like I, you know, but the other two I have read, I think maybe for me, I think my kind of like experience with kind of model culture is like, I think like generally I do try, I, and I wouldn't say I try and avoid, um, like popular things.

You're very lucky if you get a traumatic event like mine.

Or Bell Burden.

I just read Strangers.
