2 // This was unnecessary. Like really, the entire time I sat reading this *ULTRA HYPED* "hot girl book pick" I was left blank faced and bored because WHAT WAS THERE TO EXCITE MOI?!

None of the insights were particularly fresh or unheard of or even basic but so beautifully written we just forget about it.

The book was mostly just comprised of references to random pop culture names or events that the majority of the planet is already VERY WELL familiar with and with a side of sparse and overdone comments that just echo the general consensus we already have as readers.

I hate to give such popular books low remarks because I firmly believe in a very “to each their own” mindset when it comes to reading tastes, but for me, this book left me with not much of anything except a desire to move on to something better.

Wowowowoowowow yes. University section a tough listen because of hard topic but a great book I’ll recommend to anyone who will listen moving forward.

The essay on barre, self-improvement & perfectionism as experienced by women really spoke to me, lots of clear, neat lines that were really insightful. would be keen to come back to this one.
maybe I skimmed too quickly but none of the essays really grabbed me.

Incredibly interesting and well-written, but I just didn't read it at the right place/time for me.
