Bailed on this one. I wanted to love it, but it just didn't catch my interest. The prose was beautifully written, my attention was just elsewhere.

Some beautiful moments

“...success is not handed to you. You must work hard for it and you must never dishonor what you‘ve achieved.” pg. 222

As someone who struggles with impostor syndrome, this quote heavily resonates with me. I hope to remember it during my moments of self-doubt so I “never dishonor what I‘ve achieved”.

It‘s been raining so much in our city, people have started to wonder whether we‘ve turned into Seattle!(Not that that‘s a bad thing, many coffee lovers here would love to have more of Seattle‘s quality of coffee in our area) This has been the first week since Feb. we‘ve had no rain all week. So, in honor of this nice weather, I‘ve been enjoying the brightness of the sun inside with this new read...like a true, introverted bookworm!😆

It's never a complete day trip without finding a used book to buy :)
