I Choose Myself by Deepti Vempati

4.0

challenging emotional reflective medium-paced

---

 This was an interesting and emotionally authentic read. I have to admit I had a very vague understanding of who Deepti was before reading this book. The only thing I knew about her was that she was on season 2 of Love is Blind on Netflix. I gave up watching that season because I disliked the entire cast. In the book Deepti does not hold back. She delves deep (no pun intended) into her mistakes such as catfishing and her challenges such as binge eating. She said these situations along with many others discussed throughout the book helped shape her into who she is today. I really enjoyed hearing Deepti's life journey (so far) from her own perspective. Deepti seems like such a strong and powerful woman. Overall, this was a really great read.
