Not much depth to this biography. Although I commend her health journey the writers story lacks substance.

[Olwen]

An inspiring biography of a woman who decided to change.

Really inspiring.

I’ve been following her for some time on instagram and I have to say I loved this book. She’s always straight forward and real with her experiences and I appreciate that. It’s interesting to dive into all of the good and bad she went through throughout her journey and hopefully I can take all of her wonderful advice with me through mine.

I admit I was sceptical at first - "ugh what could a social media influencer possibly have to write a book about" but this story is Simone's journey was really interesting. She has a great writing style and was very open about the ups nd downs of her journey. I am glad I read it! It has definitely given me a greater understanding of the changes that large amounts of weight loss leads to
