What Confident Women Do: Daily Challenges to Set Boundaries, Establish Self-Worth and Crush Self-Doubt by Kate Richardson

informative inspiring medium-paced

2.0

Some of the same general stuff I have heard in other books or other teachers. I'm giving it 2 stars because there were a few things I didn't know about and made a note of.

It's a fast-paced murder mystery that has you wondering about each case. You can tell some language is there from the 80s (when it was published) but I enjoyed the storyline!

The audiobook was quite entertaining even if i accidently jumped ahead in the series. It definitely felt like you were figuring out the mystery together. I liked the book - not one of my favorite mysteries but I'd read more by the author.
