This book was very inspirational, but did Melissa de la Cruz have to include herself and her daughter in it?

It was good and I enjoyed reading stories from other women but it just wasn’t amazing. And for a while I just wasn’t motivated to continue reading. I am glad I finished it but the book was just average.

I really really wanted to enjoy this book but ultimately it just fell short of my expectations. There were certain parts that I really enjoyed but for the most part, this book just left me wanting more.

I thoroughly enjoyed this! It was incredibly inspiring, and I loved that it had women from various backgrounds and fields of study contributing. I only wish the stories had been a little longer — some of them weren’t long enough to get as much across as they could have. That being said, this was a great read that all women (and men, but especially women) should pick up.
