This was a very solid first book! If you've read nonfiction/self-help/motivational/memoir type books then you'll notice where Afualo is still getting her bearings but that comes with a level of honesty and vulnerability in the stories she chose to include that more experienced writers of the genre seem to flit past. I thought it was great and am excited to see what her next book(s) may be like, should she choose to revisit writing. I have been a follower of hers for years and it was special to feel closer to her story with this book, and get a peek behind the curtain of her confidence and surety and feel inspired to cultivate the same in myself. The concept she explores of "being at peace with dying alone" altered my brain chemistry, no joke.
