I bought this book last year and finally got around to starting it and I am disappointed already. First of all, I believe it was way over hyped. Second of all, I had no idea how the set up of the book was. It’s in very shorts 1-3 page “stories” or basically just “thoughts”. Although that makes for a fast and easy read, the “chapters” don’t intertwine as fluent and aren’t very cohesive in any way. I will admit some sections I loved and were empowering. However others just came off unfinished, vague, or trying too hard to be deep without any real substance. Someone else mentioned the structure made it feel like just her diary and now I get what they meant. Lastly I hadn’t realized she had such worldly views and we just don’t have the same beliefs on certain subjects. Lesson learned though. Next time I’ll research the author and the book more before just following what’s trending. I am only around page 60 and probably won’t finish it. Wish I could return it but I purchased it so long ago. Darn. I would still recommend people read it for themselves because everyone’s preference is different. It just was not for me.
