This is the first self help book that didn't make me wonder what is wrong with myself. I would recommend this to anyone who been made to feel like a freak for who they are or how they look.

**I received a copy of this book from Little Brown and Company for review**
Part “Return of the Jedi”, part “Return of the King”, this book nicely rounds out her “No Fucks Given” trilogy in a way that fans will truly appreciate.
Once again, I finished Sarah Knight’s book wishing that I actually knew her in real life because she seems like my quintessential spirit animal/polar opposite in the best ways possible. She says and does things that I wish I had the courage to while also feeling like she would be the person who understands and respects me enough to cheer me on while I do me. She’s that friend who says what you wish you could, stands up for you when others use you as a doormat, and spurs you on to be the true you.
The only thing that kept me from giving this a five star rating (which I seriously feel is a bit outlandish in every way anyway) is that some parts of the book, for those of us who are fans and have devoured her previous books, are a bit repetitive....but that’s a part of life when you have readers who are late to the game of awesomeness. So I take that for what it is. I also self-ISH-ly (see what I did there?!) wish that the parts that I loved (specifically her celebration of her mental health journey) were much longer. (a future book maybe?)
All in all, Sarah never disappoints and she always makes me feel empowered to do and be more of who I am. Always and forever. Another book that I will return to when I need a friend to tell me I am fucking amazing and I shouldn’t give a fuck what anyone else thinks of me.
Just brilliant.

I liked this one. I listened to the audio version and it was an easy one to listen to them pick up where I left off.

2.5 stars. Easy, quick read. She makes some good points. Comes across as really high energy which might be off-putting for some readers. This one was the first of her books that I've read.
