kirsty_dummin 's review for:
Things Will Calm Down Soon
by Zoe Foster Blake
3.5 ⭐️
A bit of a rocky start for me as this is not my usual preferred style; a little bit fluffy, some swift pivots to plot, a lot of description about clothes and hair colour, and a heavy dose of telling over showing in some parts.
However, I did end up enjoying the story, the snappy pace and the different threads scattered throughout.
I appreciated the insights to being a founder and business owner and the challenges with striking a balance between work and home life.
Overall, I think if you’ve followed Zoe Foster Blake and her Go To skincare range you will find this book interesting, particularly - if like me - you’re curious about which parts might be inspired by her own experiences selling her company. It is heavily focused on the business / merger / acquisition angle, so if this isn’t your thing you might find the story a little slow or hard to engage with.
