I loved this book. There were so many lessons I learned, things I resonated with that I didn’t even realize I would have before reading and digesting it. I already know I will want to reread this book often to remind myself of the  lessons in this book, to refocus on myself, who I am and what I’m doing.

This was a very quick paced, enjoyable and empowering read. I love the way she interspersed larger insights and concepts with her own stories and reflections. It was eminently readable. That said, I wasn’t totally blown away by the concept. I feel like these ideas of societal constraints and unlearning them is something that I’m sure some have never reflected on or considered and most of this is all been in my brain before at some time or other - whether that was through other reading, sociology and psychology classes, or just my own musings.  That said, her conversational tone and really assessable writing style made them feel fresh and such a joy to discover again. She told her stories with wit and truth and vulnerability, which is always a joy to read.  I would love to gift this book to a child and particularly a young woman headed off to college.

This book is beautiful. It's the sort of book that once you're finished, you want to go out into the world and live and learn and love and create and be all in. The writing is incredible and is so moving and meaningful. I feel like I've learnt a lot about myself, purely just from reading it.
