Made it through the first chapter but as soon as she noted that the foundation of her book and advice is based on the law of attraction, I was out. DNF

DNFd at page 50. Didn't like the writing style. Was so bored I wanted to claw my eyes out.

 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.

Hoooooo boy did I love this book! This was dark, twisted, surreal at times and just so, so good. I'm glad I read this as an adult because I never would have caught all the glorious nuance had I read it when I was younger. This book kept me on the edge of my seat and had me gasping when things happened to certain characters. It's an interesting study on feral humanity and definitely stands the test of time.
