Beautifully written
A masterpiece I tell you. The way Judy writes just melts my heart🤧🥹
I thoroughly enjoyed the book.
The book is quite short and can be finished in one sitting. The author doesn’t dictate what the reader ought to do; he just advises what can be done to live a productive life as much as possible.
I gave it four stars because I don’t agree with the author’s opinion on the topic of novel reading as I do believe that it’s not just about leisure reading but rather it makes the reader think of the characters and their motives. If one is to read a novel with a clear mind, then they might understand the different human natures and the “effect and cause” relationships of which the author highly speaks of. It sharpens our reasoning and perception skills.
Therefore, if one is constantly stuck in a loop with no energy to get out, one can read this book for it is encouraging and ruthless at the same time and can break the circle one is following like a pigeon.
