I originally put this on my lost interest book, but I was 35% done and it wasn’t that bad as an audible to read in the background. I loved Melissa Joan Hart fr Clarissa and watched Sabrina just because she was in it. This probably persuaded my interest in the book in the first place.

Her writing was exceptional: it’s times like these I wish I could have a general rating and a personal rating. However since I can’t, and this is my review to reflect back on, I went with the latter.

The stories were short but many left me lost. I think that was the point. But I like my stories tied up neatly, good or bad I was some resolution and an ending. However they do make you think. I still would read this book again though, I think it was a good mind stretch and I enjoyed the characters.

I enjoyed this book a lot more than I thought I would. I read this book at the suggestion of my mentor who mentioned if would be helpful to understand office dynamics and how to navigate them better.
The overall book is about status vs likability and how we confuse one for another. Additionally the author discusses what true likability looks like and how it affects every bit of our life from basic happiness to success in workplace.

The most surprisingly aspect for me was reflecting on my own life and my unpopularity and how I was able to transcend the box I could have easily stayed in. I think this book would also appeal to parents so they can ensure they’re not raising bullies and ensure they’re likable while maintaining their unique personality.
slow-paced

I had such high hopes for this book. I kept waiting for it to get better. And then when I was 80% through and it wasn’t. I just decided to finish the story to see how it ended.
