I found it very easy to read as a lot of Cait's life experience is relatable to my own. It made me take an excruciating look at my heaping stacks of miscellaneous crap with genuine concern and inspired me to start my own great purge.  I haven't started a shopping ban yet, but throwing out as much as I have in the past couple weeks, I have reconsidered buying a few things.  Especially the stuff I'll likely never use anyhow. I'm glad I read the year of less & recommend to anyone who may be starting to feel a little bogged down with material things.
