funny inspiring lighthearted fast-paced

3.75

Read this just before moving into 2023 and I did enjoy it. Irby takes us though 70 ‘resolutions’ she made the previous year and then if she actually completed them. It’s personal, funny, relatable and would recommend. I liked the notion of not placing too much pressure on this ‘new year, new me’ ideology which, let’s be real, whittles away over the first 2 weeks of January for most of us. It’s good to look back at the things we wanted to achieve and it’s nice if we did but also saying I didn’t and the reason why - no matter how ‘unreasonable.’ This short little book wasn’t exactly amazing, but I would still recommend it and am interested in reading more from Samantha Irby as did like her wit and honest humour, it didn’t seem forced at all.
