i don’t know how to feel. i loved the message but it just didn’t suck me in. i felt like i was reading on autopilot. i resonated with a lot of what she was saying. it was just very slow, and i understand it’s a memoir so she can’t really rewrite her life and make it fast paced, but maybe it was just her writing style. not a bad book though, i did enjoy a lot of it.
