I really, really, REALLY enjoyed this book. It was a very personal work of writing that I found a lot of relevant & beautiful thoughts & ideas in. The majority of the complaints I've noticed are absurd because they seem to be complaining that the author is talking about her life & how she improved it, and is now proud of herself for the progress she has made (while she still acknowledges she has things to learn). To those people; ...it's in a MEMOIR-like form. They are meant to be personal. This was a collection of very personal essays of varied length. Obviously being a memoir there were certain things I vibed with more than others, but this was Glennon writing HER journey, not mine. And I loved the vulnerability in every subject. This was the first physical copy of a book that I have been mentally well enough to focus on all year, and some of the things Glennon wrote about only prompted me to reflect deeper & write about my own thoughts, experiences, feelings, and goals. Thank you for being brave enough to share your experiences & using vulnerability as a method of reaching people on subjects like misogyny, personal discovery, racism, and discomfort in breaking out of society/cultural/familial caging.

This was what I needed at this time. Cozy, cute, holiday, animals.
I particularly enjoyed the mix of perspectives.

4.5/5 - rounding up because it was well worth it.

I LOVED that it threw the reader right into the action and plot from the very beginning. Held my interest so well that I took the long way home to increase my commute and listen to the audiobook longer
