Just…wow. I didn’t think this book would be as amazing as it is. I knew I would love it, but I’m probably going to obsess over it. I don’t blame Carrie one bit though. All I can say is, “Good for her.”

Story was sometimes a little confusing to follow since it wasn't always obvious when it was switching from a narrative storytelling to the research style storytelling, but was still an enjoyable read.
