This book was an enjoyable and straightforward read. I appreciated the overarching message it conveyed. While some have critiqued it as preachy or pretentious, I personally didn't feel that way. I can see how others might interpret it differently, though. 

There were moments when I found myself disengaged, which extended my reading time beyond a single day, as this was a book I could easily set aside. I still found it to be a charming and endearing read despite that.
