4.5

The book is excellent, a very intense and thoughtful read. I just wanted to appreciate that while the author remains humble about it, she truly is remarkably intelligent and certainly gifted at writing. A PhD is a tremendous accomplishment under ideal circumstances, let alone when the path starts with self-teaching to ace the ACT. I'm grateful to the author for writing this book and sharing her story, and I hope she continues to succeed.
