Yep, I read it, and yep, it took a while to get through it. (I'm generally slower with non-fiction than fiction, so this wasn't a surprise to me.) I'm glad Ms. Clinton took this opportunity to have her say. While she did discuss elements beyond her control that she believes contributed to the outcome of the election (such as sexism and voter suppression), she also owned the moments and mistakes that she feels responsible for. And her point in discussing elements beyond her control is that all Americans -- regardless of party -- may want to heed a warning: what's happened in the past can easily happen again unless we'e willing to address it head-on. Regardless of whether you were happy or unhappy with how the 2016 election turned out, the reality is that someday your side will be the winning side and the other side won't -- but the underlying issues will be present unless we work together to address them. This was a thought-provoking read.
It was refreshing to read Hillary's take on being Hillary, straight from the source without the media interfering. Inspiring, insightful, authentic, and powerful- I was surprised by how much I loved this memoir.
The first half of this book was good. I enjoyed it.
But the 2nd half was spent dissecting emails, Russian interference in the election, Comey, and Trump supporters and why Clinton lost the 2016 election. A lot of time spent saying "quote, unquote" that got tedious after a while.
I was looking for more on how being a woman was a roadblock, rather than MORE dissection of the political roadblocks that were encountered.

thoughtful, self aware, and a well written read on what it was like running as a woman for president.. #stillwithher
Hopeful; loving; kind; empathetic; beautiful.
And most of all, Inspirational!

This is very depressing to read! Raw, touching, frustrating - Clinton lays it all out like never before. When she talks about what could have been, it hurt my heart. No matter your opinion on her, she would have been such a better president than the orange clown pig we "elected" instead. It's heartbreaking.
