When you start the book, you might think you won’t like it. It starts quite slow and feels a bit childish. But the book has many good insights and you will get hooked on the story.

a decent short read. some nice reminders to follow your dreams, stay present & listen to your heart, but the story itself was alright. not my fav style of writing to read.
