Favorite Quotes / Passages

💭Love page two of author note top of page about what kinds of stories she enjoys. I completely resonate with this perspective.

💭 Pg117 wonderful commentary on being fragile but not broken. That sometimes you need to mute triggers in your life where possible in order to take care of yourself.

💭 Pg 185 quote: ‘What a difference, to expect that I'd feel unsettled at times - and to prepare accordingly, to create an opportunity for grace instead of judgment. I knew there would be waves ahead, but I was no longer afraid of drowning.’

💭 Pg185 Love the ‘be adequate’ motto

💭 Love the note in the author acknowledgement about a measure of a person is how they treat people that they have nothing to gain from.

Reading Notes:

🩵 I really enjoyed the memoir storytelling writing style. I’m a new mom and can’t quite relate to everything she’s going through here but I can totally picture it.

🩵 I love nonfiction books that provide insight on someone’s real life authentic  experience and the things they learned from living there it life through different times. I believe this is a debut author and I’d love to see more from her in the future.

🩵 Super thankful to Zibby publishing for their curated published works, they really gave careful consideration and thought to stories that resonate and my new goal for 2024 is to read every backlist book from 2023 that I missed and to make sure I read every single book published going forward. Thankful to be on their reader influencer list and highly recommend checking out their publications across the board!
