This reads like a stream of consciousness blog post, written to an audience of friends who don't mind some language and will appreciate cultural references. It was an interesting contrast to the more staid enneagram books I've read, and there were some ways of framing things that really resonated. Some of the way things were said felt like when someone is trying too hard and using language to try to seem cooler? Overall, I appreciated this take and would recommend with reservation.

This shouldn't be your first enneagram book because it's very surface level and doesn't move in order through the numbers

the writing is a little too "white girl using hip slang" and Paasch could explore her penchant for AAVE, but there were some insights I enjoyed.

Hilarious and informative. This book is an entertaining take on the enneagram and I throughly enjoyed it.
DNF. Couldn’t stomach the excessive profanity that was very distracting from an otherwise very interesting topic. I think that the author probably has a lot of great insight about the enneagram, but it’s overtaken by the informal, conversational tone and unnecessary profanity. Could have been good, trying to hard to be relevant.

I’ve read about the enneagram before, so I knew a lot of background. I enjoyed Hannah’s take on it. Just the way she put some things added some clarity for me.
This is a stylized primer of the enneagram, full of buzzwordy phrases generally related to millennials. The book is unapologetically full of profanity and cultural references, and the author explicitly states that she wanted to present the enneagram differently from how she had received it (from Christians).
The style will be the make-or-break for many readers, but is also the unique value that sets the book apart from other primers. If you don't like the style and sass within a page or two then it's best to stop reading; the author's voice is consistent throughout and there are other primers on the market that can cover the same insights.
If you do like the style, then you'll enjoy the quality of the writing and seeing fun cultural references. The author has also clearly read the literature, citing Riso & Hudson, Beatrice Chestnut, etc. The book doesn't feel copy-pasted or like a marketing angle, it feels genuine and thoughtful with its intent. It's meant to be fun and to help you grow as a person.
For me personally? I read a ton of enneagram books during my last job because the job entailed meeting a lot of people and having to quickly know where to be curious. It was a dizzying workplace and tools like the enneagram gave me the teeniest bit more hope that I had some ground under my feet in social interactions. Now I work from home, haha, so I'm just checking off the last couple of popular enneagram books I had heard of. I'm running on enneagram fumes a bit.
I personally don't believe in giving a book 1 star because the author wrote in a different tone than my own, said something I wouldn't say, or because I just happened to read other enneagram primers first before this one. I think it's more fair to rate based on how the writing flows, the consistency of the tone, the construction of the material and understandability. For example, I want a book to feel like I'm sitting across the table from the author at lunch or something, and they're talking about something they know or are passionate about.
