Honestly, I thought this was going to be a drag and I wasn't sure I was going to finish it. But it turns out the chapters are super short and easy to get through, and the book actually made me feel... more compassionate? Hopeful? It reminded me that we're all struggling to figure out what the best thing to do is, there aren't a lot of people out there who are 100% sure they are doing life right. As a senior in college during covid, that's actually pretty reassuring.
The only thing I can immediately say I didn't like is the way the notes were included in the end of the book. This structure basically only makes it possible to read notes if you're constantly keeping track of the page numbers, which feels like a chore. I'm a big fan of random trivia and tangents, so it was disappointing to not really be able to read the notes in context.
