Unfortunately, this book did not live up to the hype it was receiving on TikTok. I remember scrolling on TikTok one day and saw it as one of the “must read” books for a woman in her 20s. Of course, this was a selling point and immediately intrigued me as I hoped the theme of the book would surround the author's thoughts more in depth.

In my opinion, the book lacked depth in a way that everything was very surface level in terms of the conversation between the author and the therapist. I also felt that the author was judgmental at certain points (or maybe I didn't appreciate the advice/replies that the therapist gave). I wish there were instances where the author explained in more detail about how she navigated through everything in a way that would make it a “must read” for women in their 20s.
