I read this for my university’s virtual book club because I am trying to branch out in the types of books that I read. I typically don’t read nonfiction or memoirs, but after loving Becoming earlier this year I thought I might like another autobiography… but this one did not do it for me. I enjoyed some of the stories, but the book overall felt very preachy and holier-than-thou.
