This was a little boring and the writing is not very good, it feels a bit al over the place. I felt I could relate to some stuff that was said but at the same time it was really hard to connect with her.

It was fine but I didn’t love it even though I wanted to love it. I very much appreciated the honesty and vulnerability of the author and I was cheering for her but ultimately I found myself rushing to finish it for the sake of finishing it and not finding a lot of a-ha moments in this memoir.
