i definitely liked the world building more than i liked the plot but this was a great fantasy romance and i loved the characters. i had a theory for how it would end and i was wrong!
inspiring reflective

one of the better celebrity memoirs I've read. Katie Ledecky is so fascinating. I appreciate how she wasn't too bratty or too self-pitying. I also loved how much she gave credit to those who have helped her along the way. She also gave shoutouts of various lengths to causes she feels passionate about, which I appreciated.
