This book out of all of then was my least favorite. HOWEVER it is still VERY GOOD!

I liked the story but by the end it was a little odd. Talking about themes and stuff that she's already done and done very well. To me it's shocking that the themes she talked about weren't thing that she knew has been talked about and greatly liked by her fans.

But besides that I really enjoyed the moment where she was talking to her doctor. And he was like "yeah here we don't really see drinking as more than just a drink, but in other countries they see it more as a drug" Which explained very well to me why no one was intervening on Nagata's heavy drinking. Knowing that if she was drinking that heavily in the US (to the point of frequently wetting the bed) someone would have sent her to a rehab facility. 

It really shows the difference in cultures. 
** END OF SPOILERS **

Anyways, this one didn't hit me as hard as her other ones but this book focused on a more specific topic than her previous 3. But there were still some themes that carried over.
