This was a little chaotic. Granted, it took me over a month to read it, I'm sure it would've made more sense or been more interesting if I read it quicker, but it just wouldn't keep my attention. 
It felt a little brain-washy, and very "first worldy" (nothing wrong with it, but it did make me struggle).
It wasn't horrible but I just could not get into the book ever. Probably should've dnfed at some point.

I'm tired of the female main character of romance novels being stupid and immature. Why do they have to act like 15 year old kids in a 30 year old's body. No thank you.

To be human doesn't have a set definition, and I love that.

I... don't know how to feel about this. This was like a mix of Brave New World by Aldous Huxley and NK Jemisin in terms of concepts, but with none of the genius of either of those references. 
It felt a bit preachy, which I'm sure it hits different if that's what you need to hear, but it kind of felt lazy. Like the author had this great idea and wrote it all down as a draft to edit, except she never went through the draft again because she never actually fleshed anything or anyone out. 
Didn't hate it, but I don't know.. Quite disappointed.

I feel bad saying this but even though this memoir wasn't bad, her life was awfully easy, all things considered. And it ended up kinda just feeling like reading a story with 0 stakes.

This book made me feel like I was missing something, except it was definitely the book that was lacking. Feel like this could've gone so much deeper, and had such interesting discussions but it just kind of felt empty.

Also, horrible audiobook, wouldn't recommend.

Why did no one tell me this was so cute and feel good? It's making me start my day in a wonderful mood.
