This was a pretty good one! Definitely heavy on the politics and issues in the second half which was a bit too much for me first thing in the morning while driving 😅 but I thought it was a good mix of heart, history, and reflection on the issues.

It was quite an insightful book into how Kamala Harris was shaped into the woman she is today and how she thinks. It's as though we actually know her from how her personality is on the pages. It is an alright book, an interesting memoir, that I can relax to and wind down with, but it doesn't stand out to me too much though (a personal thought mind you. This memoir might stand out more to you than it did for me). There some things I quite enjoyed reading of like her early days as a lawyer and some cases she worked on along with her role in the US' political world and her role as a Senator, and as a politician herself. Ending is especially powerful.
