A good starting place for thinking and talking about money. Some skimming may be required if you have managed money responsibly in the past but there are some good nuggets in there too. This book is for people who prefer to learn through stories over bullet points.
I loved the first part and a couple of chapters throughout the book, but most of it was a bit of a disappointment. I didn't find the book particularly relatable, which a lot of comments on Goodreads mentioned. It's unclear who the book was written for; 21-year-olds freshly out of uni or 30-year-olds curious to get a raise and buy a house in London? It also reads like it could use another round of edits, some chapters are a bit all over the place and some really interesting arguments aren't fully developed.
The book did succeed in starting conversations about money, which is why it still deserves a couple of stars. If you're not British and/or living in an expensive city, you might want to pick another one!

I enjoyed this book. I feel like I learned a some new points. My favourite was how to negotiate your salary and why it's important to discuss salaries with colleagues in particular. Also, very much enjoyed reading other peoples experiences that were everywhere in this book. Some pages did feel like just general advice that you could read in any finance book but the new information I got from this book made it worth reading.
