“Cuddle Me” by Jason O’Brien is a deeply personal memoir that chronicles the author’s transformative journey through one of the most challenging periods of his life. Initially introduced to the concept of cuddle parties in 2013 while struggling in his film career, O’Brien’s attendance at such an event inspired his documentary film “Cuddle,” which spotlighted the burgeoning and often misunderstood cuddle movement.

The memoir reveals how making the documentary was not just a professional venture but a lifeline during a tumultuous time marked by personal and professional upheaval. O’Brien discusses his battles with job loss, complex relationships, divorce, and his relentless quest for self-worth and true love. These experiences culminated in a decision to create a sequel to “Cuddle,” this time making himself the central story. Through this sequel, O’Brien explores how the cuddle movement, which had previously healed others, became a source of his own healing and redemption.

“Cuddle Me” offers readers an intimate look at O’Brien’s vulnerabilities and resilience, portraying how the act of human connection and non-sexual physical touch can play a crucial role in emotional healing. Additionally, the book is impeccably edited, making for a smooth and enjoyable reading experience without any distracting errors. I would rate this book 5 out of 5 stars because there’s nothing for me to dislike in it.

This book is not just about the cuddle movement but also about personal growth, overcoming adversity, and finding hope in the unlikeliest of places. Overall, “Cuddle Me” is a touching and thought-provoking read that will leave you with a deeper appreciation for the healing power of touch. The emotional depth of the book is captivating, as O’Brien’s willingness to share his vulnerabilities and personal struggles makes the story relatable and engaging. The exploration of the cuddle movement offers a fresh perspective on human touch and its therapeutic benefits, a topic rarely covered in such detail.

I highly recommend this book for anyone interested in memoirs that explore self-discovery and the power of human connection.

I think this is a sweet book. Thanks for writing this well thought review. I am afraid I won't read this book. But job well done.
