Giving this a 3⭐️ because I think I just wasn’t in the right mindset to listen to this book.
There were some “ah-ha” moments for me but honestly, now that I’m done with the book, I don’t remember what they were. If I re-listen to this book I would make notes of them.
I’m sure I’ll come back to this book at some point but for now (see what I did there lol), I’ll just continue trying to be present.

I’ll probably come back and write a better, more thought out review but WOW this book. Its hopeful, it’s sad, it’s tense, its s*p*i*c*y.
I read the second half of the book in one day. I think this is top 3 favorite books of all time.
