Fact 1.5:
Kindle, paperback, hardcover, large print.
Yup, her book is on Amazon.

Fact 2
She is not a bestselling author—she can hardly sell a taste bud to a burnt tongue.

Fact 3:
She still writes.
She writes harsh worlds filled with loving and hopeful characters that don't make sense. Humans, you know?

This book was pretty good. I enjoyed the author’s conversational style, but parts of it felt lacking in actionable steps. Some parts felt flat. Overall, four stars because there were many good parts.
