Spotify gets me once again with being 30min away from finishing a book when my audiobook listening time runs out lmao. So weeks later I have now finally finished this one! It’s narrated by Harris which really added to the experience since she’s a wonderful storyteller.

Being a Bay Area kid & remembering Harris throughout the years, it was interesting to hear the background of many moments I can recall. She didn’t include the shortcomings around her prosecutor days which was disappointing but expected. I enjoyed hearing about her upbringing & her mother who I know has been a huge inspiration & influence for her. 

I wished there was more storytelling about Harris’ early life than listing of big milestone accomplishments. While of course important, it clearly felt to me like a book by a politician? Bahah like calculatedly vulnerable enough to seem like a person but not too much, and the heavy focus of career wins & preaching on the importance of human rights/basic equity…it was well done but clearly was published in 2019 for the moment in the future for her next campaign. A lot of things around hot topics & moments in recent history from her perspective, but nothing revolutionary that we haven’t heard.
