informative fast-paced

This book reads as a poorly written self help book for white wealthy women in America. That isn't to say that I didn't find it at all helpful (I am a white woman in America after all) but it's limited in scope AND so impressivly blind to that fact that some statements just are not correct. For example, at some point the term "Karen" is described as just a woman whose anger is misundersood and dimissed 😅 goodness. Also the "how to get what you need" part is practically speaking nonexistent for anyone who isn't already physically and emotionally safe and financiall  independant.

this is the worst book i've ever read and if I can rate it any lower I would,
the author kept rinse and repeat the idea chapter after chapter it became so reptitive it gave me violent thoughts,

Yes, this book identifies the root cause of emotional exhaustion as the ability of women to cater to and think of others before self. but this is all it does
her solution is to simply be true to yourself Identify your feelings stand up to yourself blah blah blah
and all the issues that the author mentions are the gernified white women problems it's pathatic and to jusitfy/excuse the actions of a 'karen' is so hilarious it's down right mortyfying

I kept waiting for the actual advice to start and then the book ended. like why did I even bother reading this book when it's all wishwash like every autho serlf-help book without an actual grasbable advise that one can use.

Liked this better than I thought I would. Had more implementable points than I expected. Still felt a bit shallow but I think that’s mainly because I listened to the audiobook and I did not like the peppy tone & cadence of the Reader. 
I’d like to read the hard copy version.
