peytonschafer's review against another edition
3.5
Read Physical Copy for Introduction-Chapter 3
Listened to Chapters 3-12
Listen Time: 5 hrs, 23 min
I think listening to an audiobook was a great option for this book style (conversational writing tone, with the author narrating the audiobook -- presumably as she intended it to be read). I enjoyed listening to this one more than reading. I don't, however, consider listening to an audiobook to be reading. They are both enjoyable in their own ways, but they are different things.

An interesting delve into managing grudges. Practical plans are laid out couples with interesting stories of wrongdoing. The author provides good space for introspection, and consulted professional psychologists in all of her advice.
And I can’t leave this without saying her friends was right, you’re dead to me, really would have been a better title.

There were a few things I really liked about this book that made the entire book worth reading but her whole carat rating system and stuff was too much for me. I really liked how she talked about processing a grudge and felt that was very useful information. Today at the gym I realized I have a grudge against this super annoying, loud fellow gym goer and I felt bad and good about it at the same time. Not sure what that says about me. The main thing I got from this book is that she calls things grudges that I would probably say were different things - like learning that when people are crap to you to be wary, etc but it's semantics.

As a professional grudge holder, I was excited to read this. However, I ended up feeling like I was duped into reading a book about the author’s personal grudges and why she felt justified in having them. There are good parts, but overall the book felt disorganized (lots of references to other chapters which got confusing) and the end was literally just a list of grudges. Probably enough for a good long essay but stretched into book form.
I received an ARC from the publisher through Net Galley in exchange for an honest review.

The author gives a little TOO much personal experience for my taste. Over half the book is anecdotes, which might work for some. I’d rather have more on how exactly to organize and keep grudges, especially now that I’m going to write down every single grudge I can remember. (And yes, at least 3 of them involve people calling me fat).
