This book couldn’t have arrived at a better time in my life. While the writing can come across as preachy, as soon as I set aside my hesitations with the language being used, it became much more relatable and eye-opening for me. There were chapters I had to reread, simply because what she was saying resonated and I wanted to soak it all in. She writes so candidly, humorously, and beautifully about her experiences and brings up some difficult but important questions centered around spirituality, sexuality, and race. I appreciate her approach.

If there exists a book that you'd like to gift your younger self, I would give her this book. It wouldn't only be your best friend but it would also encourage you to live and be better everyday.
