It’s a really interesting and educational looking behind the scenes of how one of the largest libraries is managed. I just started reading other stuff and never got back to this one.

I listened to the audiobook, which was read by the author. It was sometimes difficult to follow Tiffany’s story and the organization of the book was lacking. Much of the content was redundant and in some places it felt like Tiffany was ad libbing. I finally just decided to stop listen.

I read the audiobook so I can’t speak to the pace of the book overall. It was a short “read/listen” and was a good look into what some black women physicians endure while working in healthcare. The book covers more of her life at work than it does outside of work. She does speak to her relationships as they relate to her career choices, but nothing too deep.
Overall, it’s a good read for young, aspiring doctors.
