The advice seemed far less generally applicable and the author was also less qualified to be offering general advice, I think.

I’ve never battled bulimia, lost a house to a fire, nor battled drug addiction so I think I’ll skip this one. Plus, I already read Lean In and it sounds kind of similar.

I felt like something that could realistically happen was less of an escape than a fantasy novel :) Lately though I’ve started to get into to contemporary and I really love narrative non-fiction, which often reads like a story with as much drama as any fiction. Take Henry VIII for example!

I think I might be burnt out on self-help for a while. I read this one because I accepted it to review but I wasn’t especially in the mood. Which is good, perhaps, since it did end up feeling more like a memoir :)

I don’t know why but maybe the preaching vibe doesn’t really work for me. Or maybe it’s because I am reading because I want to escape for a while.

I am sorry that this book didn’t really served its purpose… I mean with not really offering well grounded advice.

Great review, Katie! I hope your next non-fiction read will be much better and of course, will really offer effective help.
