Rating: 1 Star, DNF
Short version: This book is ridiculous, bordering on the downright atrocious. I have seen so many people rave about it, I thought it was going to at least be a decent read. (Spoiler alert: It's not.) You might like it if you are self-absorbed, insufferable, and have never had an actual struggle in your entire life and are probably on the WASP-y side. Now, there is nothing wrong with being WASP-y, but there is if it is also accompanied by the spoiled, self-absorbed, and insufferable parts. I gave up maybe 40 pages in. When someone who I have never heard writes in a way that implies I should know who they are, the book is definitely not for me.
Shorter version: Girl, Check Your Privilege.
Do not read. Highly NOT recommended.
Ouch. Sorry this one didn't turn out!
ReplyDeleteIt was TERRIBLE!!! It got such great reviews (so I thought, becase everyone seemed to be so positive about it). I should have read the reviews on Goodreads before I opened it, it was so stupid gross in its privilege and bullshit.
DeleteOopsie, bad book experience alert!
ReplyDeleteSO BAD. SO, SO BAD.
DeleteThanks for the heads up!
ReplyDeleteNo problem! I heard so many good things about it, but I should have checked the reviews on Goodreads. Literally everything I thought while I was reading this is everything all those reviews stated. Stay away!
DeleteI hadn't heard of Rachel Hollis so just Googled her and, yeah, this book is unlikely to be one I'll enjoy either!!
ReplyDeleteI had not heard of her either - so you can imagine my annoyance when she was writing in a way that made it seem like I should know who she is. I was optimistic about the book before reading because so many people seemed to like it. But good Lord, such a vapid and impractical piece of garbage this book is!
