3 stars doesn't seem fair because the book was smart and good, it's just me not the book. I just realized while reading it I really need to stop picking up these self helpy life lessons books because I just don't like them. This one didn't have me rolling my eyes though and I can appreciate what she said even though very, very, very little of it was relevant to me. I hadn't heard of this woman before I picked up the book, but if I see her name somewhere I'll likely tune in. I really enjoyed her poems at the beginning of chapters, and all her nerdy references!

I love Amanda Seales but this book took me a minute to finish. This book is a collection of her essays, axioms, and some of her art work sprinkled in about everything from dating, black pop culture, therapy, sex, etc. While she discusses some good and interesting topics, making very valid points, some of these sections DRAGGED. And the amount of similes and metaphors used was excessive to say the least. It was just too damn much. Now don't get me wrong, this wasn't the entire book. Honestly many of the sections were short, sweet, and to the point. When I got to those sections that weren't though, it was a struggle to push through to the end of the chapter and didn't make me too enthused to pick it up once I sat it down. DO NOT TRY TO READ THIS IN ONE SITTING. With that being said, it had some good points. You just have to get through the excessive analogies and segments of redundancy.

Excellent. Truly a lot of “gem dropping” that I can use daily. This thing called “life”is hard and every little inspiration and motivation helps us navigate through it better!!! A much needed “breath”, for me to take a step back and re-evaluate when needed. This will be my go to reference book. Loved it‼️‼️

It was a good book. It probably would have had more of an impact on me if I hadn’t seen some of her podcast and smart black and funny. I listened to it on audible. I feel like a lot of the content was repetitive from her shows. But still a good book
