Reviews

Initial thoughts: It's a strange feeling to realise just how much of myself has been tied up in my identity of a third culture kid (TCK), even into adulthood. There's a lot of theory to digest in Misunderstood but it's presented with clarity of everyday speech rather than academic writing. Personally, I related to many of the topics discussed in this book, and gained a more holistic understanding of how my international upbringing has impacted me.

Even though I've come to appreciate many positives about being raised abroad more than half my childhood, there are some negative sentiments that have lingered. Instead of dealing with them, I've suppressed them for a long time. Reading Misundertood made me realise that I need to start addressing these emotions in order to move forward.
