As can happen with essay collections, I found this book a bit uneven. The first half, I thought was absolutely stellar, but the second half left me a bit devided. Some essays were boring, some frustrating, some good (but the greatness of the first half didn't return for me). So a 5* rating for the first half, and between 2-4 stars for the second half get's me to a 3,75 star rating. I can recommend the audiobook though! It's narrated by the author and her voice is lovely and her cadence great!
