There are some very nice sections and some kitsh sections that undermines women a bit. All in all, it was a nice light read and it was good to have practical examples of what poor behaviours might be in day to day life as well as how to fix it but I wouldn't particularly recommend this book. There are other fiction and non fiction treating this subject better.

This was okay. It was cheesy and predictable. An easy read, but not exactly a page-turner
the_herbal_carnivore's review against another edition
I didn't realize the book was a novel when requesting it from the library and yet even though it's a novel I'm not surprised to learn it was written by a "personal development expert" psychologist.
The first part of the book has me more drawn in than the last part. There were some things that I felt encouraged to try out myself - the reminder to "spring clean" for example. While I currently live in a small trailer and the cleaning doesn't take long there's still little things I don't normally take the time to get to. So the book encouraged me to make time to get to those other things and I definitely felt better getting them done.

Ce livre m'a permis de passer un bon moment de lecture, lu en 1 jour je me suis attachée à Camille notre personnage principale qui au fil des pages va changer en une personne plus positive et va devenir heureuse... enfin heureuse !
Certes ce roman est assez court mais tout au long des chapitres on apprend comment développer sa positivité, sa créativité, son bonheur par le biais de différents exercices qu'on pourrait qualifier pour certains de ridicule ou d'exubérant.

This reads like a narrative therapy session than an actual story
