3.5

My first book of the new year!!! It feels a little harsh giving this 3 stars, it’s more like a 3.5. It was just a liiiiiittle too sentimental at times - spoke directly to the audience just a little too much, for me personally. My heart softened a lot when I read the acknowledgements. I can understand writing the kind of book you really need to read. Honestly, the acknowledgements made me tear up more than the book itself did - gave me a whole new apprehension for it. Maybe that’s not the best way to read but hey, it’s a new year!!
