A charming and admirably kind book about personal and professional growth, about corporate structure and influencer culture, about intentionality and serendipity — and romance (with a great meet-cute and good banter). Fairly predictable but settled in a detailed landscape of D.C. and the podcasting world, it feels fair and interesting and held my attention once it was caught.

I like Linda Holmes and her voice, but the audiobook really wasn't working for me. When I switched over to the print edition, I had to play a couple rounds of "wait, who is that again?" because I hadn't been retaining names (who knows how many other details I missed) but the book was instantly more engaging from that point on.
