​

I’ve just finished reading your book, and one of the things that stood out to me the most is how you can discuss so many complex topics in a light and smooth way. I really enjoyed the conversational tone. It was like you were my therapist and we were sitting together around a table sipping coffee while you told me some life-changing information.

​

I was raised to not raise my voice and conceal some of my feelings… so you can only imagine how hard it was to me to decide to leave a career and stability around my 30 to start a nomadic life and career. Of course, I could picture bits of myself in all the examples you brought here, and the fact is that for the first time in many years working as a Beta Reader and a whole life as an avid reader, you brought baggage that I could relate to. Raised to be the “perfect daughter” might not sound like a huge baggage, but it is incredible to see how powerful it is.

And this was the first time I see an author really naming it, permitting me to not feel like I was complaining while I should be thankful. I’m not sure if I could explain the exact feeling, I have now, but the point is that I believe you did an excellent job when you chose the real stories to share here. It was diverse, so I believe you made sure that all readers feel seen.
