***may contain spoilers of content***

In general I really like the book. I specifically loved the highlight of the privilege because I think we tend to overlook these pretty easily! There are only one or two point that I don't agree with the author, e.g. if you have trauma, you shouldn't enter into a relationship.

For the most part I really liked it. Florence Given writes/reads/speaks so beautifully and infectiously. Half the book feels like you’re in a therapy session, full of reflection, hard truths, and self care. Some parts later on though I don’t fully agree with.  Recommend for women & queer people to give it a read, especially a listen on audiobook. It’s read by Florence.

5.0

Found this book very cathartic and enlightening to read, especially as I am currently focusing on being more active in my healing process. Some of the information was repetitive and wasn't new but I believe it was important to be mentioned and drilled in. 

This book allowed me to see certain things in a new light and has lit a fire for me to do better for myself and others. It has held me accountable for my lack of boundaries (people-pleasing), privilege and made me realise the negative behaviours I had (especially when it came to apologies).
