jupiterbb's review against another edition

challenging emotional hopeful informative inspiring lighthearted reflective tense slow-paced

5.0

This book presents a lot to think about, and it did take me a few months to get through. But my copy is full of tabs to mark passages that resonated with me in many different ways. I can't recommend this book enough. Heartbreaking and hopeful.
