A review by kaydee
Leap Year by Helen Russell
4.0
I really enjoyed The Year of Living Danishly and this follow up (of sorts) is more of Russell's engaging wry style as she investigates all manner of change. From career to relationships to health to finance to home to the mind, this is self improvement taken to the next level.
As in her previous book Russell seeks out expert opinion (and there's an expert for absolutely everything) and I have to say I did find this a little tiresome by the end but I enjoyed how she adapted and adopted these bits of advice into her own life (and the lives of her family and friends).
Lots of food for thought here (and I'm very appreciative of the introduction to Justin Trudeau's baby balancing trick!) and I'll certainly be revisiting and trying out some of Russell's suggestions in my own life. A perfect new year read.
