This book asks a lot of interesting questions through its author, but I did find several profound reflections and moments of clarity clouded by many thoughts that didn’t feel like they added much value. But I suppose that’s part of what makes this book this book—it’s not meant to read as an answer for all, but rather document the journey she had to make her own. I may return to it again in the future as it’s central topic is one I consider often in my own life.
