The Year of Less: How I Stopped Shopping, Gave Away My Belongings, and Discovered Life is Worth More Than Anything You Can Buy in a Store by Cait Flanders

emotional informative reflective fast-paced

2.75

I enjoyed the parts about reflecting on consumerism and being cognizant of what you spend money on, but there were parts that felt too memoir/preachy and just uninteresting. I don't know if she was the right person to narrate, or maybe I just don't like the voice of the story in general. I did feel that she was a bit whiney. I will be taking some of her advice about a shopping ban/de-cluttering, but she lacks an intersectional lens on how this project would be more difficult/nuanced for other people.
