Content: A book about forming new habits is totally my jam. I love to read and am always trying to make my life healthier and more meaningful. The book is divided into ten chapters where the author is trying to build a new habit like no sugar or no shopping. She consults various people while working on her habit missions and documents the rocky road to habit formation.

Writing: This is where the book will either be a hit or a miss for you. Some people would love the writing style and some people wouldn't. Unfortunately for me, the writing style wasn't my cup of tea. I found it fluffy, rambling, disjointed and lacking any depth. But it may just be me. I know people who liked this book specifically because of the writing style.

Miscellaneous: Nothing new, nothing ground breaking. You should read a chapter first to see if you like the writing style. If you do, go ahead and devour the book. If you don't, well leave it alone and take another look at your long TBR list.

I received a free copy of the book from Netgalley. It doesn't impact my views in any manner.

A non-sensical memoir, that bores, without being relatable, sounding more written by someone interested in self-loathing, and complaining, than teaching the lessons she has learned. It is a long torture session, that I can do without.

I think this book is best suited to those who can relate to the author or those going through the same things such as chronic illness. I found it a bit disjointed, and a bit of a dip into current trends rather than a serious attempt at making big life changes. I found the constant reference to illness and negativity a little discouraging. The writing style did not appeal to me, and it was very culture based. I do think the book will appeal to those in a similar situation and fans of the author. The book did not uplift me until the end when the summary and snippets of advice were very good, I am sure there will be lots of people out there who will love this book and it will be an uplifting read. It is just not for me, but thank you and Good Luck with it.
