ladylovestead 's review for:
The Clutter Fix: The No-Fail, Stress-Free Guide to Organizing Your Home
by Shannon Acheson
I was given this book as an ARC from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.
This book is about how to declutter your home and covers a good amount of information about how to do that. The techniques provided are not necessarily anything new or different from what a reader can find elsewhere. I didn't think there was much new added to the existing literature on decluttering. But if a reader has never read anything about decluttering before, they can find a lot of value in the suggestions. What I found most interesting was the categories of clutter personality types and how to adjust your decluttering process based on your personality type. There were some weird moments of body shaming and fatphobia that I thought were REALLY unnecessary. In a book about decluttering your house, there was just no need for that whatsoever and it really turned me off the book. There were some Bible versus used but they felt "cherry picked" because the larger context around those versus and why they were included went unexplained and unexplored. This wasn't the book for me, but it could be useful to others.
