This book was okay. But not great. Kind of clunky in the writing. Too academic in parts but very sarcastic in others. Overall, these two white women cannot tell you how to decolonize self care. They take over 200 pages to tell you that but it's true. So this was not what I thought it would be in any way, but I learned a lot. As a black woman with a self care small business I was very interested in the idea of this book. I struggle with social media marketing and pushing for sales or event telling people what works. Knowing that a lot of self care often looks like pebble against the ocean. Community care is something that feels more fitting but making it another hashtag feels wrong too. Little did I know how commodified self care has become. The wellness industry being much bigger than I thought. So many situations that I as a poor, Black woman was unaware of because it's not for me, I didn't like how 4/5ths of this was look how bad everything is. Hitting us over the head with the terms, global south, cishet white women, etc. They kept saying g we'll get to solution in the last chapter but that would up being look to community organizations that exist and a 2 page list. Though truthful, it leaves you feeling pretty depressed about the world as it is. This book doesn't feel helpful at the end of it all.
