4.0

"Only let the world see half of your ambition. Half of the world can't handle seeing it all."

Isn't that just the saddest sentence ever? This book stirred up a lot up for me. We are all too familiar with women having to fight harder, only to be called bossy, too opinionated, or a bitch. The things I learned from this book about political campaigns made me sick. It spurred a convo with my husband about the horrendous allocation of wealth in this fricking country -- if these candidates took half of the money they were given and put it good use we'd have fewer hungry people, struggling people, etc. -- it's disgusting.

All in all, I enjoyed the realness of this book. No one is perfect, no one's marriage is perfect and this book showed that well.
