At first I had high hopes! But as I read more stories it felt like a very bumpy ride. Olivie Blake is a good writer, but at the same time it feels like she tries to be very quotable for Pinterest or journaling videos. 

Low key, as I was typing up the ratings below I did forget most of the stories and what they were, so… I think that reflects my overall rating.
