So glad I purchased as an audiobook. Absolutely moving listening to it in her own words. I laughed. I cried. And then really really cried. I'll be coming back to this one again. Bravo Brianna on a fantastic memoir and first book.

The pace was a little slow in parts. I felt like some chunks left me wondering why they were included. But still entertaining.

A little slow. But I think maybe that's part of the teaching as well. My eastern upbringing makes me want to skip to getting the information fast which speaks directly to the author's subject. I did enjoy how it had exercises, diet implementations etc. Very interesting.

I love Oprah. I think she has such a way of speaking that gets right to the heart. I'm glad I listened to it as an audiobook. Finished in one sitting. Themes of joy and resilience were definitely a great way to kick off a new year. I'll be taking her words with me on the journey through 2023.

A little lengthy. But very entertaining. I enjoyed it very much.

Pretty interesting read. I liked the back and forth in the past and present time. Enjoyed a pansexual male character. Not done a lot. But, the end was predictable and felt like the author couldn't figure out how to wrap it up.

Stunning. Moving. Lovely.
Fastest selling book of all time for a reason. We're all so intrigued by the lives of royals. What we've done to them out of public interest is disgusting. Beyond greed.

I was so moved by the telling of the story. Very pleased that he chose to do the audio himself. I love a memoir read by the writer. You feel the way they intended it to be heard. The way he talked of his mother gutted me. The way he spoke of his wife made my heart swell and then broke it again. Ugh. I have so many feelings about this book to process. What a wonderful opportunity to a glance at the true lived experience. Thank you Harry for sharing.

Meg said it appropriately. What a man. Never a spare.

Interesting read. I think the idea of slowing down and enjoying more quiet cozy moments with those closest to you (or solo) sounds well needed and sometimes easier said than done. I'm clearly trying this year to devour more books, spending quiet evenings without TV and screens but this book definitely makes me want to join the Danish way of life making those times more often, more desired over other forms of spending time, more necessary to living a happy and fulfilled life.

I enjoyed the recipes and tutorials for things like candle making and quilting. Enjoyable guide. Well written and easy to digest.
