I thoroughly enjoyed this book. Highly recommended read! Thanks for providing through Net Galley. Five Stars *****

Thank you to NetGalley and WildWomen Books for an e-ARC of this title in exchange for my honest review. The cover and the title were both so intriguing that I couldn't help but want to dive in. It was a very interesting story of one woman's journey in Southern California as a teen and going into the tech bubble in Silicon Valley. I, too, am weary when I think about conforming and trying to not give in to the pressure of today's society in Southern California. The message of this book is about finding your authenticity, and I felt the author was very genuine. Very interesting read!

The synopsis for this book sounded fascinating but the reading experience didn't live up to my hopes. I found the writing quite strange and discombobulated. I would have appreciated a more in-depth treatment of the subject matter. The writer did not seem to be fully invested in communicating her thoughts and experiences. I feel the kernel of the story is fascinating but needs more feeling and detail to bring it to life.
My thanks to NetGalley for providing me with an eARC in exchange for my honest review.
