I’ve followed financial samurai newsletter for a while and thought I liked it and was looking forward to this book, but it just didn’t really hit for me. It just felt like the classic “stop eating avocado toast and save save save and then you’ll be rich!” And didn’t really felt like any new advice, maybe I’ve just read too much like this already. Overall I agree with his points, just didn’t feel very novel. He also lost me at the pitch for asking your parents to help you buy a house and how that meant you need to communicating with them and a good kid and show you’re learning about real estate lol. I’m sure there’s some good tips in here and info for folks who’ve never thought about financial freedom, but if you’re looking for a good finance read to get your life in order, read anything by Ramit Sethi

Dark (yes I was warned) and not really a gripping story for me at least. Only made it about a third through before stopping though.

Pretty dark (but I was warned) yet not necessarily a gripping story.

A good commentary on the struggles of being a modern woman and trying to succeed in business and motherhood, and just existing as an “other”. It was a really gripping read! I read it in less than two days. My only frustration was that I didn’t feel like there was much of an action item or a real solution offered. But I guess that’s sometimes life.

This is a heartwarming read!! All about belonging and finding your people, not without some struggles along the way but it’s a classic “all part of the journey and brings us closer together”. Kinda cheesey in some ways and I’m not usually into that but I loved it. Also it was fascinating to learn so much about bees. Now I want to be a beekeeper
