Overall, I really enjoyed this book. The author does a great job of weaving in historical and pop culture into her reflections of her experiences. It took a moment for me to adjust to how the captures were structured. The only reason this isn’t a 5/5 for me is while the structure worked, I don’t think it was my favorite. One of my favorite parts was the “choose your own adventure” section. The action of flipping through the pages conveyed what I think the author was going for.
