This is more of a reading diary than a review. Feel free to read, but it may not help you!

This book wasn't what I expected. At all. It was recommended to me by a coworker in 2019, and it sat in my suspended holds for almost 2 years. I didn't particularly want to read it, though I knew I should. And then I st ...more

Not worth the hype... this book was recommended by so many that I anticipated more out of it. It was made much better by listening to the audio version. I would not have finished if I were reading the print.
