(True as Remembered) How to Sacrifice Your Lover is a psychological love story.

Yuki is on a kamikaze ride to find his one true love in a sea of perverts, greed, and psychological disorders... searching in all the wrong places. When Yuki meets Inari, they quickly form a bond that is as bizarre and confusing as it is deep, fanatic, frantic, and sometimes explosive. Yuki is willing to plot, scheme, and betray for the opportunity to rescue Inari from a sociopath she can't escape. Inari plays impulsive games seemingly to inspire emotional, sometimes violent, responses from her sociopathic lover. Emotionally tormented, Yuki, tries desperately to prove that his love is more valuable to Inari than an emotionless, dead-eyed, robot.

In a nutshell, How to Sacrifice Your Lover is about what it is like to fall in love with a Borderline Personality. It is a tornado of love! A tornado of destruction and confusion! It covertly observes many other psychological disorders including Schizophrenia, Dependence, Avoidance, Sociopathy, and Narcissism. This 150,000-word book was inspired by a whirlwind of 90-days that were as twisted as they were magical, a time when personalities and personality disorders collided into a beautiful mess.

5.0 out of 5 stars Unusually candid and deep exploration of the Minneapolis goth scene.
Reviewed in the United States on November 19, 2021
Before I continue I would like to preface my review as biased because I am a friend of the author among other things. That being said it’s very strange to read this book even if by one passage at at time. The book explores some of the unusual circumstances are encountered by the author during a time I witnessed. when parties raged hard and people took serious the “all is fair” clause of love and war. Some experiences are unique to the author or unique to the goth scene, but often the experiences were things that even I could relate to. Relatable to me not because I felt the same way but because I saw many of the same patterns of behavior in people that were important to me and also in my own life. A big theme is the torment and total mind melt experienced by the protagonist. Strange to me because I had similar experiences but felt very different about the results. Either I’m a psychopath or it’s because of my pointy ears. In the end life is fleeting, so why not party your brains out like the author? Why not go for broke like the author? Some win, some lose, some cheat the game, and some go crazy like the author! But what makes life worth living is the crazy, spicy, raunchy, absolutely absurd insanity that separates truth from fiction. And more than anything this book beautifully illustrates how truth really is stranger than fiction!

Party on!

4.0 out of 5 stars Grab the popcorn and pull up a chair.
Reviewed in the United States on December 19, 2021
Told from the first-person POV, this reads like a case study in a handful of similar-but-different psychological disorders crossed with a goth soap opera.

It's very much oriented around the "scene", with crossovers into a few (kink, goth, club, etc.). The characters sometimes come across as two-dimensional, but they're not: I know these people, or people so very much like them as to be indistinguishable. These traits and behaviors are very real.

The number of times that I've wanted to slap the protagonist upside the head and tell him "listen to what your friends are telling you!" is not insubstantial, as I recognize my own (younger) self in him.

It's a lush, cautionary tale. Well worth a read, especially if you or a friend are having relationship issues that don't seem to ever work out.

5.0 out of 5 stars A wild ride chronicling the rollercoaster of loving someone with BPD
Reviewed in the United States on December 18, 2021
Candid and honest misadventure through the world of caring for someone who doesn't necessarily care about you, so much as they care about whether or not you love them and would do anything for them. Fascinating, enthralling, and impossible to put down.

5.0 out of 5 stars Honest, heartfelt, and relatable.
Reviewed in the United States on December 8, 2021
This is not necessarily an easy, happy ending kind of read, but it's an important one. While the specific details may be different, the author's emotional journey feels like one that many of us have traveled ourselves. Don't hesitate to dive in.
