Review:
This was an interesting and somewhat inspirational read, but I do wonder if maybe this is better for slightly younger readers.
I do like a lot of things about this book; first of all, it's beautiful, the design of the pages and the colors are vibrant and fun, and it gets you excited to turn the page. I really like the Igbo Nigerian quotes that are scattered throughout here, and I think overall the message of this book is great; it touches on a lot of important and interesting topics.
For me though, it felt a little simple. I'm not really the kind of person who goes for inspirational quotes and this is filled with them. I would've loved to go more in depth and see discussions on the different topics; I felt like we spent a lot of time talking about what one should do instead of how to actually do it. I also would've loved it if it got a bit more personal, as I follow this author on social media and would've loved to get to know her and her experiences better.
I think I just expected more from this and maybe I'm just not quite the target audience, which is why it ended up just being kind of OK for me. I do think the author is fantastic though and this is a great read if what you're looking for is to pep yourself up a bit.
