A lot closer to a memoir than I was expecting, but was still an overall enjoyable read. Definitely not strictly a 'writing help' type book, though it does involve the author working through a bunch of her own writing blocks, and includes a little list of writing exercises at the end based on chapters of the book.

Based on the title and subtitle of the book, I thought it would be similar to books like On Writing Well and Bird by Bird. It was less of a how-to guide or inspirational book on finding your writing voice and more of a specific account of all the conversations and excerpts that led the author back to her own voice during the pandemic. It was a fine book, just not what I had expected. Thanks NetGalley for an ARC in exchange for my review.
