lighthearted slow-paced

She’s right that this is nothing special, she was just willing to write it down. I had a lot of ups and downs with this one. Overall I’m just glad it was short

adventurous challenging reflective medium-paced

Started off strong but diverged on so many tangents that it completely gave up on its point. I was determined to finish mostly because the beginning was actually interesting… can’t say the same for the rest of the book.
