Holy shit this was a great memoir. Hilarious, heartfelt and so emotional. This woman has been through some batshit crazy things and she shares her story with us with such humor and grace. I really want the physical book.

ALSO i need to know about the redacted parts. That POS should not be protected! I'm super bummed they made her redact all of that.

I wanted to love this book but it stopped being fun after 130
Pages. Hated the animal cruelty - I skipped the cat scene and dnf’d shortly after. Moving on. 

oooh i liked the twist. 

HOW IS ASHLEY POSTON SO GOOD AT WRITING!?! Another straight up five star. I laughed, I cried, I kicked my feet. obsessed.

I was so hyped about this book but I lost interest pretty quickly. I put it down at page 66 and then a month later realized I never picked it back up. Unhauled it. 

deep dive into the history of MLM's. Super interesting, but not as engaging (read: gossipy) as Hey, Hun. Def a good read. Apparently listening to anti mlm books while running is my jam. 

This book broke me. SO emotional. Emily has been through some shit. Such an inspiring woman!

THIS BOOK WAS SO MUCH FUN

I am unwell. 

Amazing commentary on toxic masculinity, misogyny & race.

I wholeheartedly support this woman’s wrongs. 

Also, the eyeball scenes are…. Unhinged. 

Pack Light: A Journey to Find Myself

I tried to push through and finish because it’s an important story and deserves to be told (and because I paid full price) but MY GOD this book was overwritten. I couldn't do it. Curtis really needed a good editor - I don’t think anyone actually edited this book at all, to the point that I heavily skimmed some sections so I wouldn’t cringe at the writing. It was also super disjointed - like, how did we get here from there? What just happened? 
 
This book could have been so good. I'm so so disappointed.
