In Need of Therapy by Tracie Banister


In Need of Therapy

I started this thinking it had to be cute cause of the cover. The bright color and the Dr looked adorable. I was SO correct. I love bragging when I am right. So the story is Pilar Alvarez, therapist extraordinaire, and somewhat crazy assistant Margo. There were some quick one liners from Margo. She was always watching out for Pilar.  Pilar lived in a nice little house and her unemployed sister Izzy was there to mooch off of her. Pilar had a great family an older sister who was married with kids and that is all her Mom wanted for her. She tired to make Pilar go on dates that were disasters. Pilar’s Dad was a partner in a law firm and very prominent in the community. She had a stalker sort of boyfriend who couldn’t take no for an answer. Victor would embarrass her, follow her around and tell people he was her fiance. She has several patients who were equally nuts yet somewhat hilarious!. Lori the hair dresser was in love every other day and then out of the love immediately after.

The best part was when the new psychiatrist moved into the suite next door. She meets Ford and feels some sort of connection and they sort of pal around. After little while for talks about his son. OOppps Pilar messes up again and gets chummy with a married man. Poor girl doesn’t get a break. .

Mitch is a patient who turns out to be Derek Reynolds a pretty famous actor who turns out to be in “no” need of therapy. I was pissed off! I thought maybe (wrong as it would be) Dr Alvarez would be the “one” for Mitch. Maybe he needed someone his total opposite to get him on the right path. Mitch is just as messed up as the other patients.

I will say I really recommend this one for the laughing. I cracked up so many times over the characters and the ending was hysterical too. I wont give away but a patient gets married. Seriously a funny book. No question a 5*
