5.0

Anne Bogel runs my favorite bookish podcast and has written two other books that I very much enjoyed, so I was extremely excited to get an ARC of this with my pre-order bonus.

There’s not much to say, and in testament to everything I learned from this book, I’m not going to overthink this review. Her writing style is delightful, conversational, and makes you feel like you’re having a cup of tea with a very knowledgeable friend. The tone is warm and understanding.

What I love about this book is that there is science behind it, but since Anne isn’t a scientist, she explains things in a way that the average reader can understand. There are anecdotes galore, and everything is so relatable, whether you’re male, female, in your 20s or in your 60s. I loved this books, and will definitely read it and pass it on to others.

Many thanks to Anne Bogel for offering such a great pre-order bonus, and to NetGalley for providing the ebook.
