This is definitely more memoir than guide. It gets pretty heavy too.

Nicely written, inspiring and reflective. I didn't (and still don't) know the blog she wrote, but it shows and I found her writing very close to the reader. Although some passages and sentences felt repetitive, I can't blame her. I'd probably do the same when I find a nice sentence or expression. It also didn't happen too often.

Although this is more of a report than a guidebook on decluttering or minimalism, Flanders still included a list of things to do if you also wish to embark on this adventure to not spend money (on things you don't need) for a year.
