This book came to me at a time where I was trying to dig myself out of another one of my depressive slumps and much of it was stuff I already knew from therapy or from friends or simply from past experiences of digging myself out of the hole. However, it still offered advice and new perspectives on things I hadn't considered before that I intend to incorporate into my life from here on out. 

More importantly, however, even though I already knew much of the truths within this book, I honestly needed someone to slap me in the face with them for me to actually register these words and truly look at myself and ask: am I actually doing anything with this knowledge? Am I being my most authentic self? Am I indulging in the silliness and beauty this world has to offer and am I expressing the same in turn? 

This book was a wonderful read. The writing was engaging and entertaining, and the messages held within are ones many women ought to hear. Let us all be our most gentle, authentic, compassionate selves. To ourselves and to each other.
