Brown’s style of writing is very accessible and easy to follow. The book is very experience based and draws on personal experience to illuminate broad issues. I would widely recommend this book. Brown does center some of her discussion on Christianity, which didn’t feel particularly relevant to me specifically, but might prove very relevant to other readers!

Brief but poignant and hard-hitting. This could’ve been a 5 star read for me but it got a bit preachy for my liking - I can appreciate that the author is clearly deeply rooted in her faith and that the church is an important part of her life, but at a certain point the heavy focus on Christianity takes away from the message. I suppose this may be written specifically for a Christian audience and that it’s highly effective there. For me, not so much. But if you can parse out the religious dialogue there’s much to be gleaned here.
