Great read. Concise yet meaty. Mullen writes sensitively and insightfully. He not only has a command of "impression management" techniques and various aspects of abuse, but he has lived through it himself. This is an excellent guide to folks who are being abused--whether physically, verbally, spiritually. I'll be returning to this one.

Something's Not Right took me a while to read, but I found it to be an insightful read with some great truths. I can see myself rereading it in the future. I recommend it.

This is a great resource for anyone who is walking through or has walked through abuse of any kind. I don’t know any other resource like this and can see it being a fantastic resource in church ministry and counseling.

"A safe community gives people the freedom to say, 'something's not right.'"

This book is must-read for anyone in a church/charitable organization (or just about any organization for that matter). If you need help giving names to things that don't feel right, you'll benefit from this book.

The author uses lay terms to describe abusive behaviors and systems. This book is research-based and highly accessible. I appreciated that I could read it without being exhausted or triggered by the scenarios in the book--for me, that's a sign that it was thoughtfully composed.

thanks to Netgalley for the ARC of this book.

People are abused in many different ways, every day. Some people don’t even recognize the signs/ tactics that they are being abused. In his book, Something’s Not Right, Wade Mullen shares real life examples of people who have been abused, parts of his own life when he was being abused and the tactics that abusers use against you.
This book is a good resource for helping you or someone you know that has been abused.

I graciously received an advance e-copy of this book from netgalley for review. All opinions are my own.
