โญ๏ธโญ๏ธโญ๏ธโญ๏ธโญ๏ธ (really, all the stars) for this thoughtful book that might end up as xmas presents for friends and family this year.
This isnโt a typical book. Itโs advertised as a series of essays, but I felt more like I was reading ๐๐๐ฉ๐ฉ ๐๐๐๐โ๐จ personal diary. It was fun and unexpected, and the structure and style forced me to take my time - I would pick it up and read whatever chapter felt right for the moment rather than read it straight through. Iโll probably read it again soon, following the same approach just so I can benefit from some good reminders.
This book is like a really big hug, a really terrific chat with your best girlfriends, and a steaming cup of tea with your grandmother all in one experience. It wonโt tell you anything you donโt know, but itโll give you some comforting and authentic words of wisdom that are notable and worthwhile. โค๏ธ
XO, Tara
