God is the Cure. was a raw, unfiltered diary of a woman who's faced the darkest of times and emerged, not unscathed, but certainly stronger.
Nikolov doesn't shy away from the gritty details of the abuse she suffered, it is heart-wrenching, and there were moments I had to put the book down, take a deep breath, and remind myself that this is someone's reality. But what's truly remarkable is the resilience she displays.
The narrative weaves between past and present. It's like piecing together a jigsaw puzzle, where each chapter provided another piece, slowly revealing the bigger picture. I really thought the prayers and inspirational quotes at the beginning of each chapter was a nice touch too.
This is a powerful memoir, and testament to the idea that, there is a higher power watching over us. The memoir is not a light read by any means, but it's certainly a memorable one. ( )

This story is a well-developed read of the author's quest in the spiritual, emotional, and social worlds. This narrates the author's experience of developing spirituality and developing a gradual, long-lasting bond with her family. This includes a horrific personal instance of physical and sexual abuse of two sisters in Miami set between 1989 and 1994. As the charges were pressed on their parents, it was a difficult case for them. It was a tough and tragic path for Aimee to stand against all the legal challenges, custody battles, poverty, sexual abuse, and addiction. But she defied all the odds, rose against the burden, and learned lessons from this battle. The struggle has taught her the biggest lesson: belief in God, trust, and faith will drive you in the right direction. This read reveals the fact that even if the conditions are worse, there is a supreme power who takes care of everything and keeps you going.

The unique blending of personal experience with lessons for life will definitely serve as a good self-help read. ( )

God is the Cure by Aimee Cabo Nikolv. I read the book because i am a fan of real life experiences and this I found to be a deely moving read.

Aimee’s story is a powerful, honest journey, as she discovers the connection between childhood trauma and addictions. Aimee Cabo Nikolv gives a compelling, honest and unflinching account of her own journey into and out of addiction. She shares cinematic episodes from her life beginning at the earliest memory and taking us up to the present day

A must-read for anyone who is touched by issues relating to abuse, addiction and recovery, but also to anyone who is trying to make sense of their lives, face their demons, or take responsibility for their own past actions. Highly recommended. ( )

This is a memoir that covers some very dark times - but glimmers with a beacon of hope nonetheless. Although I’m not particularly religious myself, I can appreciate how Aimee’s faith helped her to overcome some horrible circumstances and serious obstacles to become the successful, caring woman she is today. She does an amazing job of painting a vivid picture for the reader, drawing you into her story. Even if you’re too young to remember when her abuse was plastered all over the headlines, you’ll find this a fascinating and compelling read. If you’re looking for a memoir that at its core is truly uplifting and inspirational, then you’ve found the book that should be at the top of your TBR pile. ( )
