I am reading Sirens Song: My Marriage to a Borderline. It's a memoir from a medical students perspective of how luring a relationship to someone with Borderline Personality Disorder can be. As weird as it sounds I have been researching BPD since I discovered the ex who I had the longest relationship with had it... This is my 5th book on Borderline Personaility Disorder in 3 months.

Omg, that book you mentioned was so good and so obscure, so it was funny to see your post on it. Would you mind linking me to the books you read on BPD and giving your own brief reviews? As a therapist I'm always particularly fascinated by BPD. I also dated someone with BPD in college and that contributed to my interest in lesbians with BPD.

My fave books on Borderlines are:

[ame="http://www.amazon.com/Girl-Need-Tourniquet-Borderline-Personality/dp/158005305X/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1356198959&sr=8-1&keywords=girl+in+need+of+a+tourniquet"]Girl in Need of a Tourniquet: Memoir of a Borderline Personality: Merri Lisa Johnson: 9781580053051: Amazon.com: Books[/ame]

This one is by a woman with BPD. It has an odd writing style and is very quote heavy. At first I decided it wasn't a good book, and then in retrospect I found that aspects of it did have a memorable impact, and I decided I liked it. It's a lesbian memoir.

and

[ame="http://www.amazon.com/Borderlines-A-Memoir-Caroline-Kraus/dp/0767914287/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1356198999&sr=8-2&keywords=caroline+borderlines"]Borderlines: A Memoir: Caroline Kraus: 9780767914284: Amazon.com: Books[/ame]

This is a memoir with a lesbian twist of sorts by a woman who was best friends with and somewhat romantically involved with a woman with BPD. Excellent writing.
