Waypoints: My Scottish Journey by Sam Heughan

4.0

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5


I really enjoyed this book! I thought it was a great insight into his life. I didn’t know much about the actor apart from his main role on Outlander, so learning something new about him, and his childhood was really interesting. I love how he interspersed his memoir with the walking journey in Scotland, because I felt like it made it more natural that way. Definitely he Wrote this himself because you could tell how much he cared about what he was saying. It’s hard to explain how I knew he didn’t get a ghost rider to write this, but you can just tell when somebody who’s passionate about what they’re talking about is the one writing the book.


I found this book hard to read at points. It’s not because the book was a difficult read or that it was slow. When Sam talked about his challenges, he made me think about the challenges I faced in my life. I have some major changes coming up this year and I am very scared. I think I am mostly ready for these changes but it’s nice to know that someone else didn’t have it all figured it out in their mid 20s to early 30s.
